This defeats the purpose!

The Girl Scouts’ newest cookie flavor is making headlines again. Yes, they are tasty but scarce! There is one place you can find them, but it’s going to cost you!

The Girl Scouts of the USA introduced Raspberry Rally in August and announced it was the first cookie to be exclusively sold online. Sometimes, the Raspberry Rally cookies are called the sister cookie to the Thin Mint.  Because of its identical look and raspberry flavor instead of mint, the chocolate coated cookie was a hit and quickly sold out.

The cookie has now made its way over to eBay, selling well over the Girl Scouts’ price of $5 or $6 a box. A quick search on the e-commerce company’s website shows resell prices ranging from $15 to $180 for 10 packages — black market-like prices. I saw them on Ebay ranging from $7.00 to $40.00.

Girl Scouts have expressed their “disappointment” in the “unauthorized resales” of their products, stressing that it deprives the organization of its proceeds.

While the Raspberry Rallys are now being sold outside of the organization, an eBay spokesperson noted that the sale of the cookies on their website don’t violate their policies.
