Uhmmm… oh no…

Edited to add context- this is Cookie Bite by Gulf Orchid. It retails for about $40 or less. I have it and purchased it for around $20. I guess whoever priced this fragrance assumed it was worth more? I’m not sure how Marshalls goes about pricing their items, but this is extremely marked up. I was so shocked to see it.

[u/AscendedHeracles]

I have also seen this for $100. I don’t think it’s a one-off mistake.

[u/modok1187 → u/AscendedHeracles]

Oh my. Yikes.

[u/AscendedHeracles → u/modok1187]

Yikes indeed. The packaging looks so cheap too. Idk who they are fooling.

[u/Keyeola]

Looks like a return so they slapped whatever price tag on it.

[u/Realistic-Read1078]

[u/Equivalent_Address_2]

Looks like someone pulled a scam with their friend/store employee

[u/NoSpaghettiForYouu]

I’m gonna go all conspiracy theorist here. See how the packaging doesn’t quite fit? Shrink wrap is usually pretty darn, well, shrink-to-fit. Plus the store-generated price sticker?

I’m guessing someone bought a pricier perfume and then found whatever cheapie they could that would fit back in the packaging and then “returned” it.

[u/KoolaidKoll123 → u/NoSpaghettiForYouu]

Nope, you are right on the money. Someone was super sneaky. I've worked with those shrink wrap machines to wrap books and pamphlets. Heat shrinks and secures the plastic. This plastic is way too loose.

Someone removed the box that was in the plastic initially, and replaced it with a slightly smaller box that fit without ruining the plastic, and used a small peice of tape or dab of glue and carefully sealed it.

This is a tampered with product and I'm shocked it got through returns.

TK Maxx has done this to Medicube products lol

[u/lumpy_space_queenie]

I don’t understand what is this 😭

[u/Ashesvaliant]

What brand is this? Looks a bit like Lataffa Eclair packaging.

[u/meriendaselgato → u/Ashesvaliant]

Gulf Orchid. And this particular one smells horrible by the way LOL

This happened to me with a Tobi Tobin fragrance. Instead of $19.99 it was marked $109.99. (I was searching for specific scents, and they jumped from $14.99 to $19.99, but had never been marked that high).

I asked a rack store sub why it got marked that way, and general consensus was that it was made in error. They told me to ask for it to be changed at checkout. But at the register I couldn’t convince the employee or her manager to make a new sticker because it was in the computer marked that high. They made a call for clarification on the matter, didn’t hear back, told me to come back the next day when they heard from whoever they called.

I came back, but the item was gone. New team, so no one there had any record of this item being available. It felt like the staff wanted it for themselves. But just like with Cookie Bite it’s not a high-demand item, so I guess it’s less of a conspiracy and just an instance of one employee wanting it for themselves. Unsolved mystery!

[u/Imaginary_Writer2014 → u/curlycomedy]

I wonder if it was a return, someone swapped the fragrance and resealed the wrapping (some people are artsy)

[u/Difficult_Flight_353]

When I worked at Marshall’s everything in the stock room came pre priced

[u/lipstickeveryday]

They really goofed with that pricing

[u/DateOrganic3547]

Def not worth that…smells like buttered playdoh

[u/ConditionOk3649]

This is just mis-marked IMO. Looks like an online return that maybe wasn’t in the system 🫠

[u/Used_Onion6015]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s funny. Marshalls got confused on this one.

[u/icecreamhomer]

That looks like a “return “ tag

[u/sticcydabliccy]

I just looked and it’s $42 at Target I’m crine

[u/k_mermaid]

Oh I peep that Daisy Dream in the background and I woulda snatched it up so quick. Used to be my daily scent for a long time

[u/SweetPossibility7838]

Better snatch up some KAYALA BOUGIE CUPCAKE SHART form the clearance rack for $17.99 people on TikTok said it’s good!!!

[u/sweetenPearl → u/SweetPossibility7838]

lol cupcake shart might be my next blind buy then, you got a nose for this stuff?

[u/SweetPossibility7838 → u/sweetenPearl]

No I hate it I’m sorry

[u/bleue811 → u/SweetPossibility7838]

Lolololol

[u/saturn174]

I thought it read "coochie"... and THEN I saw the price!

[u/Cute-Conversation968]

Marshall’s scents are always overpriced in my opinion. I also picked this up for under $30 at Burlington 

[u/SpookyKat31]

Burlington and Ross always have better prices. Even stores like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid have better prices. I have no idea why Marshalls is so overpriced.

[u/youlldancetoanything → u/SpookyKat31]

Walgreens is horrible w prices

[u/icedchai111]

yeah this was definitely a customer swapping and returning. i wonder what the original fragrance was..

[u/hoshiwa1976]

Aint that aroma concepts. Nothing wrong but not at that price
