This is one of those things that I don't get. It appears that there's a brisk market for expired FastPasses on eBay. I'm guessing that these are days old fastpasses. I'm quite puzzled on why people would buy such things. The only thing that I can think of is that they're hoping that they could use one of these fastpasses at the attraction with the Cast Member not noticing the different date, since they are more intent on checking the return time.
Of course, if you read the article, Disney is not going to sit back and do nothing. I can easily see them going with some barcode reader so that it no longer requires a human to read and verify not only the time, but also the date and the authenticity of the fastpasses. But what irks me the most is the comment from one of the vendor who sells these things:
"This is the first time I've ever sold any FastPasses," the unidentified seller stated in an e-mail. "You might be better off asking someone with a little more experience. If Disney didn't scam ME every time I blinked, I wouldn't feel it necessary to try to make a little money back from our trip. You can put that in your write up. :) Thanks for asking."
This is so LAME! Scam this person every time he/she blinks? And this is the justification for this person to do this? So because he/she wants to get even with Disney, Disney will institute a more rigid system for the rest of us who continues to visit the theme parks (I'm assuming he/she won't be coming back since we all don't want this person to get "scammed" again, do we?). This person does this without thinking of the consequences and how it will affect the rest of us. Think of what our society would become if we all think that we are entitled to take up such similar actions just because we had the perception (and really, there's always 2 sides to the coin on almost every issue here) that we had been wronged.
Some people just need to get over themselves already!
