Buyers, please stop allowing yourselves to pay too much.

Not everyone has access to a Build a Bear like you may have.   The nearest one to me is a hour away.  It would cost me much more in gas and time to drive there to save ten bucks.

People won't buy them if it doesn't make sense to them most times.  It is just important to remember that there are lots of people that can't get certain things easily like you might be able to get in your area.

Welcome to the US where there's a free economy. 

Sellers can charge what they want for items (non-essentials) and buyers (you) can choose to pay the prices or find sellers whose prices you like better.

I tend to doubt the 'free economy' at this point, it seems to be held hostage to some odd whims, but I agree that here sellers are free to offer goods at their desired price point, just as buyers are free to not buy them.

Last I heard the USA is still a "Free Market Economy"  That is why milk is  a different price at different retail stores and a Ford pick-up truck of  the  same specs is different prices at  different Ford dealers in the same general area, etc. etc..  The first I heard about this was in High School 10th  grade Economics in 1961 and then again in 1965 - Bus Ad class in college.

Solution:  Buy one at the nearest  Build - A Bear B & M store in your 'hood or possibly from their on-line site (if they  have one IDK) nor have I heard about them until  today -  have grands and great grands too.

In America, we are blessed with a free market economy, where the prices of goods and services are determined by supply and demand, as expressed by the actions of buyers and sellers, free from interference by government or other outside influence. 

In actuality, what you are seemingly championing @twilight-trekker, by wishing to dictate pricing to suit your needs, is somewhat akin to collusion in limiting pricing , which is illegal. And not to be confused with price gouging (which is also illegal) and is defined as the act of inflating prices of essential items during a time of official emergency or crisis.

Build a Bear glasses are neither essential items, nor is this a time of national emergency.

Sellers are free to set whatever price they deem appropriate for their goods, and buyers are free to purchase, or not purchase, accordingly.

There are only 320 BaB stores in the entire USA.

There are no Build a Bear stores in my country.

Ebay services both.

If  buyers are paying  $15 - $20 dollars, that likely is the reason why eBay sellers are asking $15-$20 dollars
