As predicted, the "limited-edition" Pokémon Oreos are now being listed on sites like eBay for some insane prices.

Although they only were around $4 USD a box, they're now being listed by scalpers for absolutely ridiculous amounts. Although some listings are quite reasonable - asking for a few dollars more, others are demanding hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Joke or not, it's still a bit much.

If you are a collector, there's also a catch, as there are 16 different designs in total. The harder to find one seems to be Mew - which has generated a lot of standalone listings. One sale wants $25,000 for one of these biscuits in "used" condition...yuck!

About the only positive we can take from all of this is that nobody actually seems to be bidding on any of the more ridiculous listings. It is just a cookie after all. If for some reason you are at all tempted to purchase a pack of these Oreos, just remember - they'll expire sooner or later.

Did you manage to get your hands on these Oreos for a reasonable price before these listings started appearing online? Would you pay a lot of money for themed food like this? Tell us down in the comments.
