This mom just declared WAR on toy scalpers… and she's winning. 🔥
A $7 toy shouldn't cost $150 — but that's exactly the kind of markup driving a growing backlash among parents caught up in the craze for NeeDoh squishies and other trending toys.
A $7 toy shouldn't cost $150. But scalpers are buying NeeDoh squishies in bulk the moment shelves restock — and flipping them online for $150 or more — turning an innocent stocking-stuffer hunt into a nightly war that most parents don't know how to win.
At the center of the pushback is Roxana Rossi, founder of the fast-growing NeeDoh Restock Facebook group — a community built to help moms track down hard-to-find toys for their kids at fair prices. Rossi says her mission became personal after the rare Cloud Pleaser NeeDoh was released. Curious whether anyone in her group had managed to snag one, she asked around, only to be offered the $7 toy for a staggering $150.
In that moment, Rossi realized that scalpers had quietly infiltrated the very group she'd created to protect ordinary parents. She quickly posted that no price gouging would be tolerated in the community.
Scalpers Turned a $7 Toy Into a $150 Racket — Parents Are Fighting Back
When Rossi publicly banned price gouging from her group, the reaction cracked open a fault line nobody wanted to admit existed. Grateful moms flooded the post with thank-yous — they'd already been priced out. But the resellers struck back fast, with one firing off an expletive-filled rant telling Rossi and every parent in the group exactly where to go.
The underlying problem is infuriating and increasingly common: adults with bulk-buy accounts are clearing shelves of NeeDohs and trending squishies within minutes of restock, then flipping them on eBay, Whatnot, and inside Facebook groups at markups that would make a loan shark blush — leaving kids and budget-conscious families with nothing.
Roxana is also known for purchasing rare above retail Needohs to give away weekly on her Telegram channel.
