Trader Joe's customers tussle for sought-after $3.99 insulated mini tote bags that are being resold for huge sums on eBay

Americans are continuing to rave over $3.99 mini tote bags from Trader Joe's, with some even willing to get physical with other shoppers. 

The supermarket chain launched the Mini Insulated Tote across its stores on June 4 and the limited-time product flew off the shelves, immediately selling out in several stores in California.

In a video posted to TikTok, at least a dozen Trader Joe's customers crowded around a pallet filled with the sought-after magenta and teal tote bags. 

In the midst of the bag-grabbing frenzy, an elderly woman was almost knocked off her feet by fellow shoppers. 

People were seen leaving with multiple bags in both colors and in fewer than 20 seconds, every single bag was gone.

Customers are seen scrambling to get their hands on the highly sought-after bags, with most of them taking far more than one

'Oh my god people, you got no manners,' the man recording the video said to the crowd.

One of the store employees also appeared to admonish some of the customers for their behavior. It's unclear which Trader Joe's location this happened at.

But a quick perusal of eBay reveals why people are more than eager to push through the competition and get their hands on these bags. 

Among many listings selling the bags in pairs, some are asking for astronomical sums.

One person is asking for $149.99 for a set of three, two pink and one teal, which in store would have cost roughly $12 excluding tax. 

So far, there has been no bites but at least five people have viewed the listing in the last 24 hours. 

The store chain is selling mini insulated totes that come in magenta and teal. Consumers who purchased the bags are now reselling them on eBay for up to $150

This isn't the first time Trader Joe's has struck gold, previously offering mini canvas tote bags that were also massively popular.   

These canvas bags, which were sold for $2.99 in store, are now only available through scalpers who are charging as much as $750 for them.

They're specifically popular in Japan, as they've become the ultimate status symbol for 'Amerikajin' fashion, or America-core, BBC reported in March.

Trader Joe's plans to restock these canvas bags across their US locations by August or September.
