[Saba Sports News] The badminton events at the Paris Olympics are currently underway, and recently, a badminton fan in Paris shared a social media post expressing astonishment at the high price of shuttlecocks used in the competition. Scalpers have even begun selling them at prices close to $400 per barrel, with each barrel containing 12 shuttlecocks, which is surprising. It is reported that these special shuttlecocks for the competition have exquisite and unique designs. The packaging is a romantic pink-purple color, and the barrel, tape, and inner label all feature strong elements of the Paris Olympics, consistent with the decorative style of the badminton competition. This unique design has attracted the attention of many badminton enthusiasts, as it has high visual recognition and aesthetic appeal. After the social media post was shared, it immediately drew the attention of many fans, with some expressing disbelief at the exorbitant price. Some fans even suggested that these scalpers should be dealt with as they create scarcity by hoarding and inflating prices of ordinary products.
