This mug resembles a honey bear container and comes topped with a green silicone beanie, making it a popular choice for fans this holiday season.
Resale Market for the $30 “Bearista” Mug
Since its debut on November 6, the bearista mug has sparked significant interest on resale platforms like eBay. Prices for the mug have skyrocketed, with listings ranging from $150 to $400, and many sellers offering it for around $300.

Social media platforms have seen an influx of posts from eager customers sharing their experiences waiting in line to purchase the mug.

Customer Reactions
One enthusiastic customer recounted their experience of being second in line and still missing out. They shared, “I was the second person in line at 4 am to get a Bearista cup, and they were sold out by the time the doors opened at 4:30 am.”
