A seven-year-old boy has purchased a rare Coles stikeez 'Golden Banana' online for $10,000. His mum from Sydney is pleading for a refund. Ouch!
Kids are going bananas to find the special golden toy in the Coles Stikeez collection.Ms Jacob contacted the seller, described the situation and asked if they would reimburse her of the eye-watering figure.
“Between PayPal and the bank, there should be at least one stopper that says ‘hang on, this isn’t right’ … and no-one did,” Ms Jacob said. Like the golden ticket from Willy Wonka, shoppers have been going crazy for the rare collectibles of the Coles promotional campaign, with one given to shoppers who spend $30 in store.There’s Willow Watermelon, who loves summer, Penny Pear, who loves parties, Brodie Broccoli, who is “full of goodness”.
But scarcity creates demand, and recently a mum-of-five sold a golden Billy Banana on eBay for $20,100.A Coles spokesman told news.com.au earlier this month that it “certainly” did not encourage the selling of Stikeez.The spokesman added that it has been overwhelmed with the popularity of Coles Fresh Stikeez.
