Wait one week, they will all be gone from JCP's stock, while the Chinese mfgr. gears up for another production run-BAM-put it on Ebay and let some bone-head pay you $300 for it=PROFIT!. Just like the 2 day Twinkie-craze that had idiots paying hundreds for some twinkies they will overpay you for the temporarily unavailable teapot...

EDIT: OK, now I'm gonna head to Ebay to see if it's already happening..

Let's see what happens...[pulled by eBay]
Let's see what happens... [Take 2]

[edit]
Relisted and it's up to 18 bids now $102.50 -- I hope eBay doesn't pull it again!

Spent $40 +tax.

Started the 24 hour auction at $0.99

13 bids at $68.50 before I went to sleep last night. Expecting way more since most bids will happen in the last 60 seconds when the auction ends.

I went to sleep last night while it was at $68.50 with 13 bids. Based on app notifications on my phone, there were at least 5 more bids before the auction was pulled.

Another with < 8 hrs remaining mentions "Hitler" in the title. Not sure why that one didn't get pulled. Now the timing is way off because my relisted one will close at 3:40 AM for the west coast. :(

Someone should do a YouTube video:
"Hitler finds out they made a teakettle that looks like him."

Ach-tung baby!, looks like JCP has taken some flack about this (which I find ridiculous), they have sold out online and they pulled the ones off the store shelves, there will NOT be any more sold, your's might get to 3-4hundred by tomorrow as nutjobs try and out bid each other.

Maybe some of the stores haven't pulled it yet.

Mine was the only one on the shelf, but I have a feeling they only put out one at a time.

The loopy crowd really thought JCP did this on purpose. they were forced into removing them or face the wrath of the millions of loon-bots who would have probably gathered outside the stores to protest this outrage!..

EDIT: One just sold for $200 http://www.ebay.com/itm/JCPENNY-MICHAEL-GRAVES-HITLER-TEA-KETTLE-SOLD-OUT-IMPOSSIBLE-TO-FIND-BRAND-NEW-/111084751203?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item19dd2ac963

I caught that story in the morning, I should have shot over to JCP's and tried to get a few, it's only about 3 miles from my house. You never know what's gonna happen in these deals but you did the right thing getting it in there early, after the Twinkie craze died down they were only selling about $10 over retail 3-4 days later. Same thing happened when Dale Earnhardt got killed, people were snapping up the local paper like mad and the first day they were going for like $50 then it died down fast, I still have a few copies in my closet..

Seller is from Newnan,GA. Ichinisan and his Brother are both from there and his Brother's ATOT name is CZroe, or w/e. So I don't think we were bullshitted, just curious why the listing was taken down.

I've been keeping an eye on your listing, why did you take it down?

We have a shared eBay account. It looks like eBay pulled it as Nazi memorabilia without even sending an email. I didn't even know Ichinisan was selling anything because I didn't even get a listing confirmation email in the first place.

Edit: Checked eBay messages by logging in and: Yep.
