Yeah true....so eBay. at a crazy price....I have a friend that works in a Starbucks here and she said that everytime any kind of "limited edition' anything is available, there are people waiting to scoop them up and get them on eBay. I remember there was a special limited edition Starbucks rose gold card available....it was $400.00, but it came with $400.00 preloaded. They were on eBay the next day with the preloaded amount gone and asking prices of $500.00
That’s free market buddy. :) Thanks to e-commerce, many people are selling those limited Starbucks cups/tumblr from overseas. It’s great for those who actually want them but can’t due to geographical limitation.

We don't celebrate Chinese New Year, different traditions etc. And by the way, Apple does occasionally release limited edition things in the US.



That’s the most annoying part of Apple, it keeps behaving like the Asian culture is as important as the US, ignoring the fact that Anglo-Saxons rule the world at present. Apple management should all be seriously considered high treason!

The thing is, we have a huge population of Asian Americans, specifically Chinese-Americans, who do celebrate lunar new year. So I am surprised these aren’t sold here at all. I guess Apple has done the analysis and knows the demand just wouldn’t be high enough to meet their goals.
 
What, no “Joe Exotic” Tiger Beats Edition?
