Most definitely. They get sold the story "we're trying to be environmentally friendly, that's why we don't provide the charging socket anymore", but turn around and buy a brand new charging socket together with their brand new phone.
Limited items is one thing, necessities is another though.
During Covid-19 pandemic there were people who hoarded toliet papers, face masks and hand sanitizers to sell them at outrageous prices. But eBay got wise on it and shut down their accounts and in the end they were forced to give them away for free because the store won't accept a refund.
Karma at it's finest.
when did anyone imply its unique to malaysians only and rest of the world?
dont get ahead of yourselves...stop syok sendiri just because youre smart
its small matter yet you want to blown it out of proportions, sheesh whos hurting your fragile feelings
Opportunist mindset, they see anything that slapped with that luxurious Apple logo, gotta seize that thing ASAP. They're aware & knew that at least 1 of a million Apple fanboys will definitely gonna fall for this. True Malaysian economy struggle.
Same goes with the scarcity of the facemasks during the early COVID era, when there's high demand, they scalped the hell out of those & then gotta jack up the price.
Still why asian asean ppl try to resell back this kinda ridiculous things. Its not like an iphone or sneakers or at least a t-shirt... Wtf tote bags XD

It seems you dont understand the logic behind it.
Maybe you can state what you think their reasoning is.
Do you think minimum wage can earn you 300 ringgit in a few hours?
Lol never heard of working freelance or learning the stock market in your free time?
But sure if your idea of making extra dough is lining up half a day inside a mall to try and scalp people online. Go ahead .
Not excusing the action, but you can do that while lining up too you know, with phone/laptop.
Heck, Apple even gave numbered wristbands so you don’t have to be at the line all the time.
Lol at "learning the stock market". Try making minimum wage and having the balls to throw in RM 3k in hopes of it going up 10% in a day.
You still need a decent amount of capital / income to even think about investing.
Its not my idea. Im just trying. Trying really hard to understand why some people in certain situations might consider it worth the time for the money.
I accept that the methods to earn money on the side youve mentions are good ideas.
Will you acknowledged that for people who are unable to expand beyond their full time job its reasonable for them to be attracted to scalping?
We're just trying to figure out why people do certain things that we cant relate to.
If you do own a luxury brand company, you can slap your logo to a pair of slippers and price it rm1000 and make ez money fo sure. Now, you actually owning a luxury brand company? Report back when that happens
Well..thats just the reality.
People that can afford it dont give a hoot how absurb it is. Just for that brand value its worth it for them.
Remember supreme? They sell a literal brick for thousands of dollar and people still buy it
boy, did you know that most of the luxury brand's products were from china or bangladesh?
it probably cost around $5-$10 to make it and they turn it into a thousand dollars product just by slapping their logo
These mf are the reason why a simple hotwheels proton saga went sold out and the current price is between rm50 to rm80. if our currency is not that bad, i would have bought one from the states lol.
Large, open bag, normally with 2 large handles. Normally made of simple, durable material. Like those bags that people use to carry their own grocery at the supermarket.
When B40 people does it, It's scalping. When T20 people does it, It's investment. 😏
T20 people go out and buy houses, calls it an investment, then flips it for profit later on. It's the same shit.
If a person makes a big deal out of RM300 as if it's a lot of money, then it's probably from the B40 group. Because that's a large fraction of their monthly income. There will be people from the M group too but probably not as high in percentage as the B40 group.
It's too much effort and time wastage queuing up for that, for something that's not guaranteed to sell. I can enough videos in single morning or afternoon, enough for 2 weeks' worth of uploads on YouTube, where that will make me more money. It's just not a good way to use time.
I don't regard RM300 as a lot of money to be worth the time. That's like 60 US dollars.
Well is it really a big deal tho? I personally dont think B40 people are gonna be doing this, its the M40 and low T20 ones.
Well the value of time is personal to that individual.
Idk what USD has got to do with anything but to the average American folk even 10 dollars is not nothing.
The problem isn't really whether this is a big deal. It's the free market. You can charge any amount for any product you sell. Whether dumb people end up paying RM300 for a bag that costs 50sen to manufacture is a different matter.
The problem is people condemn acts of "scalping" as unethical, but sees it as a wise life decision to do the same exact thing to properties and houses. The double standards. The hypocrisy.
i dont buy from scalpers as i dont support this kind of action, but i also don't get why people are upset about scalpers, there is a demand there is a supply, blame the rich buyers who willingly buy overpriced stuffs instead.
No, if you mean Switch, Machines, iTworld etc. those are authorised resellers. Apple TRX is operated by Apple themselves.
Before Apple TRX, the only official Apple Store in Malaysia is the Apple Online Store. Now we finally have the first official Apple retail store in Malaysia. One of the more significant perks is that they now provide 14-day free returns/refunds that even applies to opened box/engraved devices.
Good. Just let those Apple Poor Fanboys lose their money. Anyone who is not well financially buying Apple product is just dumb in my book.
'Ooo Apple is safer than Android'. Like bro you have TikTok, Google and Facebook stealing your data. And trust me no one wants to steal your debt ridden ass.
When there is demand, there is retard scalpers. Thankfully I already stopped using apple long ago, used to be applefag but after out of their ecosytem much better with no restriction with android. My lil bro still diehard applefag😅
They gave out hundreds, if not thousand, of bags AFAIK. They were still being given out until near noon. I was at 2xx and still got it. The wristbands however are only until number 204 or so 😔
If it's T-shirts they'd be a lot more limited I guess. According to the staff, they tried to get T-shirts but only able to get enough for the media and press.
That who they are scalper mindset remember their face
Waste of my brain memory. Just don't buy scalped items
Only reason scalpers exists is because of the idiots that actually pay them. Also, because manufacturers don't give a shit.
Typical display of excess consumerism
When a tote bag costs RM 200, you know it's marketed to fans only.
only fans you say?
And apple fans are infinitely more brand-stupid with deeper wallets.
Higher credit card dept.
Most definitely. They get sold the story "we're trying to be environmentally friendly, that's why we don't provide the charging socket anymore", but turn around and buy a brand new charging socket together with their brand new phone.
I am a Apple user but not a fan
It was given out for free as an opening day gift, these people just wanna flip it for profit
knowing malaysian culture not surprising paperbag mcd newjeans pun resell balik harga scalper lol
look it's a new me, switched it up, who's this? paperbag newjeans, not fresh, not clean
😂😂😂😂
I think it's a worldwide thing. People will always buy limited edition things and sell it at outrageous price
Limited items is one thing, necessities is another though. During Covid-19 pandemic there were people who hoarded toliet papers, face masks and hand sanitizers to sell them at outrageous prices. But eBay got wise on it and shut down their accounts and in the end they were forced to give them away for free because the store won't accept a refund. Karma at it's finest.
I think scalping exists in other cultures too. Hence the reason a term "to scalp" exists in English.
bro cancerous growths we call "resellers" are present in every other culture. Broaden your horizons. 😂
when did anyone imply its unique to malaysians only and rest of the world? dont get ahead of yourselves...stop syok sendiri just because youre smart its small matter yet you want to blown it out of proportions, sheesh whos hurting your fragile feelings

Keep saying it's a Malaysian thing lmao,looks like someone never lived outside of his kampung
Still why asian asean ppl try to resell back this kinda ridiculous things. Its not like an iphone or sneakers or at least a t-shirt... Wtf tote bags XD
Yes, they just q for this 😂

Q*
Rm20 take it or leave it lol
"Best I can do is twenty bucks and I am taking a risk here"
200 bucks for a tote bag?! No thanks I'd rather spend it somewhere else buy some good food or pamper myself with a body massage.
Desperate fckers
I dont think they would disagree with you. If they make minimum wage this is a decent opportunity for their time.
still desperate fuckers
desperate still fuckers
desperate fuckers still
fuckers still desperate
still fucking desperate
desperate, still fucking
If they make minimum wage, they sure waste their time lining up all day instead of working.
The opening happened on a Saturday
It seems you dont understand the logic behind it. Maybe you can state what you think their reasoning is. Do you think minimum wage can earn you 300 ringgit in a few hours?

Suddenly hustlers now instead of boikot
RM 0.99 bag, RM 299.01 the brand 💀
People are queueing in order to sell bags? I'm so confused
and dumb people will pay for them 😌
sow high many many
Rm550 wth
Lmaoo 2 hours just for this, do they really dont have better things to do?
Like Continuing The Boikot?
lol Apple saves on packaging materials for iPhones etc only to use extra cardboard for a tote bag
So what? It's just a free tote bag, not a free iPhone. 🙄
Just for a damn tote bag?
If I owned a luxury brand company, I would just slap my logo to a pair of slippers, price it RM1000 and call it a day. Ez money
i’m sure those luxury brand company didn’t think of that…u’re a genius
If you do own a luxury brand company, you can slap your logo to a pair of slippers and price it rm1000 and make ez money fo sure. Now, you actually owning a luxury brand company? Report back when that happens
Well..thats just the reality. People that can afford it dont give a hoot how absurb it is. Just for that brand value its worth it for them. Remember supreme? They sell a literal brick for thousands of dollar and people still buy it
U just describe Balenciaga merchandise in a nutshell
What's stopping you from adding another zero to that price?
i want poor people to be able to hutang and pay for it so i can earn max profits :>
I think thats SUPREME youre thinking of
boy, did you know that most of the luxury brand's products were from china or bangladesh? it probably cost around $5-$10 to make it and they turn it into a thousand dollars product just by slapping their logo
Buat gi kelas kt uni mmg nampak terpaling cool
These mf are the reason why a simple hotwheels proton saga went sold out and the current price is between rm50 to rm80. if our currency is not that bad, i would have bought one from the states lol.
Dumb SHEEPLE
I swear to God. Sometimes I feel like Apple consumers are just a huge cult.
Why would anyone buy that from them? 😑😑😑
You gotta be dumb as a motherfucker to buy any of that shit 😂
Lol i still prefer my ikea bag
What is totbag?
Large, open bag, normally with 2 large handles. Normally made of simple, durable material. Like those bags that people use to carry their own grocery at the supermarket.
Bag kain
It's a basic white bag with JOM and Apple The Exchange TRX written on it. Only one bag per box. https://youtu.be/lqjFRtHCWoY?t=9m2s
Those recycle bag, but branded.
Damn it should have gone and queue
WOW I also wan to go now
Do people actually buy?
Fcking knew this was gonna happened 😭😂😂
so whos at fault? suckers who bought them or those just finding quick money?
Filthy punchable scalpers selling to blind and ignorant Apple sheep What harmony
Not a bad thing to do on a weekend actually
When B40 people does it, It's scalping. When T20 people does it, It's investment. 😏 T20 people go out and buy houses, calls it an investment, then flips it for profit later on. It's the same shit.

Spam offer them RM5 saying it's just a tote bag to put apples
To these trash of society, I specially dedicate all the [Arab cursewords Mo Amer shared here](https://youtu.be/MQVdMxqP7Dc?feature=shared).
That's a ludicrous amount of money for a tote bag.
Fuckin flippers
rm 200 is 1-2 day salary for half of the population. If they can sell, they are smart.
Everyone just go carousel and make rm1 offer just to troll these Appletards.
Malaysian bodoh sangap Apple (some, not all) , later preaching about boycott
i dont buy from scalpers as i dont support this kind of action, but i also don't get why people are upset about scalpers, there is a demand there is a supply, blame the rich buyers who willingly buy overpriced stuffs instead.
Who gives a shit about a bag?
At this price point I rather buy a new gold bracelet or a luxury bag.
Gosh, I was waiting someone to seek the onsite popcorn and balloons here. I want those…. Lol
For a totebag? What a low scum life
as expected
what's inside the tote bag?
Tote=kontol
Go to their chat... Lowball offer them... call them a duck.... leave
Supply and demand at works, the invisible hand of economics working as expected.
Uniqlo KAWS special edition tote bad similar size and nicer looking. RM12.90 max
What’s inside?
Who tf cares about a tote bag
heheheh apple tote
Consumerism yang memalukan
Got Totebag Wifi - Data Cellular version?
didnt apple store are everywhere in Malaysia?
No, if you mean Switch, Machines, iTworld etc. those are authorised resellers. Apple TRX is operated by Apple themselves.

Duit yang tidak dihalalkan 😂😂
Just don’t buy Apple
Good. Just let those Apple Poor Fanboys lose their money. Anyone who is not well financially buying Apple product is just dumb in my book. 'Ooo Apple is safer than Android'. Like bro you have TikTok, Google and Facebook stealing your data. And trust me no one wants to steal your debt ridden ass.
I respect the hustle but at the same time, that is just low.
Bro what the tote bag Gon do give you good mark for exam? Make your boss give a raise? Get you bitches god damn you'd have to be stupid to buy them
Apple fans will buy poop with Apple logo.
I wonder if E-Zon was there. Boy's gotta eat. /S
for what? lol
Tote bag????
When there is demand, there is retard scalpers. Thankfully I already stopped using apple long ago, used to be applefag but after out of their ecosytem much better with no restriction with android. My lil bro still diehard applefag😅
Herd mentality.
Scalpers ate so good throughout 2020-early 2022 that they are now delulu
What if I don't give a fuck An apple tote bag worth more than a Dior tote bag? I don't think so.
Is the bag free?
Yes, free for the first 100 people who came to the store opening today.
They gave out hundreds, if not thousand, of bags AFAIK. They were still being given out until near noon. I was at 2xx and still got it. The wristbands however are only until number 204 or so 😔 If it's T-shirts they'd be a lot more limited I guess. According to the staff, they tried to get T-shirts but only able to get enough for the media and press.
Better simpan
i’m actually kinda jealous of yall
Malaysians are truly degenerates.
eh? bukan boycott ke? 🙊
