Amouranth slams scalper for selling her adult toy over four times the original price

HOUSTON, TEXAS: From hot tub streams to selling jars filled with farts, it's easy to say that Kaitlyn Siragusa aka Amouranth isn't an influencer that one might come across every day.

With so many things under her belt, her popularity has only soared over the past few years, earning her an absolute fortune through platforms like Twitch and OnlyFans.

Ludwig suggested to Amouranth that it might be profitable for the streamer to make an adult toy for males that complements her OnlyFans content because he had seen other Twitch streamers promote similar items.

She implemented his idea, labeling it "Amouranth's Assistant". It was released on July 6, 2023.

Amouranth slammed seller on eBay

On August 11, Amouranth took to Twitter to criticize an eBay scalper for selling her toy for over four times the original price. “Someone bought a bunch of my toys and is making more money than I did scalping them on eBay,” she said.

Amouranth's tweet has received over 426K views and has piqued the interest of many of her followers. The attached photo shows the $399 eBay ad for her toy.

To maximize profit, this seller is also charging purchasers a $10 shipping cost. Amouranth also added in the comment of her tweet, "They've been sold out and I'm not sure if there will be a second run."

This explained why users would be willing to buy it at such an inflated price on eBay.

Amouranth's fans express disappointment

The Tweet resulted in various fans putting up their thoughts on this incident. A user wrote, "Uhhhhh that’s so aggravating!!" A second user wrote, "I've lost my faith in humanity."

A third user asked, "Does this bother you ? Cuz I'd be upset if this happened to my product," while a fourth joked, "I know its you amouranth… kidding lol."

A fifth user said justified the man's behavior, while still pointing out that it was wrong, as they said, "I’m not saying it’s okay but you did set the price and they were all sold. I don’t think it’s okay but you still got the W."
