I am calling on @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup to limit half and half scarf sales to 1 per person.

I collect match scarves. When I went to the game yesterday between Japan and Sweden, it was sold out.

And you know why?

Because people are reselling for $200+

[Raymond P @raypenn007]

@ArmanKafai @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup I agree! I was also at that game. The lady at the sales table told me people were buying multiple scarves. The resale value is horrendous.
