Dolls!
Volks makes expensive dolls. Volks just opened a stateside shop in southern California, and at the grand opening of this store, people who already owned a Volks doll were given the chance to buy super special limited release expensive dolls. Some people went and acted as mules for those who could not make it to the event, which is considered acceptable among collectors of these dolls. (Reselling at any sort of profit is not; people get very touchy about potential scalping). As near as I can tell, one person offered to be a mule, but then went back on the offer and got greedy with the other limited edition dolls on offer, and at least pretended she owned one of the Volks dolls to get into the event. People get upset.

They are very nice dolls, though.
