Markets in everything: Scalping Halloween costumes

Babystyle offers some of the cutest yet cheapest kid's costumes around, but when we tried to order this octopus costume from the print catalog, it was already sold out in all but newborn size.

Suspicious, I checked eBay -- and sure enough, several are now listed at Buy It Now prices from $60-70, with one already bid up to $54 (Babystyle's price was $20).

I also noticed the same thing, however, now the costume is going for $90.00 on ebay!! Very frustrating!!

I can not blame people. I want this costume for my little girl. I sell stuff on ebay too though and if I could make that much off one item I would do it.
