The rare furry Simba Ooshie is once again for sale after the owner of the item explained the bidder failed to pay almost $100,000 for the item after winning the auction on eBay.

On Thursday, the first ‘super rare’ furry Simba Ooshie went for auction on the website starting at an eye-watering $10,000. Five days later it officially sold for almost 10 times the amount.

The ‘Furry Simba’ sold for a ridiculous $99,900 with 108 bids made over the length of the auction. But the seller said the item is back on eBay after the winning bidder failed to cough up the cash.

“(The bidder) said his daughter just bid on it for fun, so we have to cancel his order and relist it again,” they told 7NEWS.com.au.

The seller said they were annoyed some users were taking the sale as a joke.

“I do have some buyers (that) are serious and willing to pay a good price for it, but a couple of buyers (sic) are just doing it for fun.”

The seller is now considering offers from previous bidders.

  • Would anyone actually spend that on an ooshie? I’m surprised people are spending any substantial money on them

  • Not convinced it was the child. Seems people make bids they have no intention of following through with out of jealousy.

  • People list various items on Gumtree and Market Place. I don’t know if any of them have “best offer” (auction) on them or not.

  • Why would you pay that much for a toy? There are better ways to spend your money and get a lot more pleasure out of it

  • No accident there. How is it that kids are now able to do this? Through their parent’s account? My son does not know my passwords or credit card details and I’m amazed at the amount of kids that do know their parents personal info.

  • Interested to know how much it does sell for! Is there really a demand for these and what are people willing to pay?!

  • Another time someone has left their account open for an accident to happen. What an accident! It’s beyond me why anyone would bid these outrageous amounts.

  • Don’t leave your account logged in so your kds can bid. How many times does this have to happen?

  • Wow imagine being so wealthy you could afford to pay 100k for a tiny toy. I would sure love to have one to sell.

  • The sale is a joke and they should rethink listing it

  • The whole Ooshie and Little Shopper trend is just out of control. Who in their right mind would pay for these bits of plastic?! Especially these prices?! They should be banned from eBay because kids (who shouldn’t have access to eBay anyway!) will be sorely tempted ….
