They filed down all the ~~serial numbers~~ KitKat logos, then used a hot iron to rebrand them as:
*Chocolate Intermission*. Which are rewrapped individually to sell as singles obviously. Four times the value right out the gate.
At least that's what I would do.

My son is I'm-not-going-tell-you-how-old. I found a few old Legos in a drawer and before throwing them out I asked if he wanted them. We are talking a few ancient, mismatched pieces with no discernible purpose I can see, but he immediately said "yes" (while trying not to sound too interested).

I definitely would have bought some illegally obtained LEGO from some shady dudes if they were going to give me a d*******.
In the past year, I've...
. Built a Cylon raider from BSG
. Built the Batmobile from the first Batman movie (Jack Nicholson minifigure included)
. Helped build with the forge building I got for my husband for our anniversary
. Watched him build a super sweet Horizon Zero Dawn set (complete with tons of lights and an Aloy minifigure)
. Gifted him a set that was a build of his dream car
. And built a flower set for my nightstand since I can't keep plants alive for shit.
We'd go bankrupt if we bought every LEGO set we wanted.

Who am I to judge a couple of guys pulling themselves up by their boot straps and participating in what I'm told is a great capitalistic society.
I don't ask the Amish farmer how he treats his livestock, I just buy his Amish made goods.

I mean…as long as they’re intact and click-able, they have a discernible purpose.
Won’t say how old I am either, but just bought my brother legos for his 50th b-day. (He’s a birthday grinch, so I got him a tiny set with a giraffe in a party hat, a little wrapped present, and a monkey holding a cake. Made him laugh like a child, and they’ve been getting up to all kinds of antics around the house ever since. Worth it 😂)

You know people wouldn't have to make a side hustle if cost of living wasn't absurd.
People scalp because they need money. People make their hobby intoa business because the cost of living is insane.
There's a bigger problem than your stupid little hobby having people buy into it.
If people weren't incentivized to sell shit (Capitalism). It would have ceased to exist because no one buys enough of hobby material to keep it relevant or profitable for the company selling it.
Welcome to reality
You need a customer base for the hobby to exist. That customer base also doesn't want to lose money. Welcome to the real world buddy.
