 Obviously those who would pay such an asinine price for a donut doesn't have a problem with the economy.   But If I could afford it I would not pay that amount for a cronut.

That's crazy...why would anyone want to spend that kind of money on a donut? Sounds good to eat but wouldn't buy it off ebay.  Never know about the quality.

Have no idea what a 'cronut' is, which is fine with me. Not knowing of this I can't develop some irrational yearning for it! Thus I don't need to feel bad about wasting my time or money on it. At times, ignorance is indeed bliss!  ;D

Guys,

I had to see this for myself and it's happening on Craiglist as well as on eBay.  On eBay there was an auction for
12 cronuts and the bid started at $1.99 so far lasttime I checked, the bid was at $20.00. 

I'm wondering how much people are being charged  for two or can you only purchase them from the people that are
willing to deliver them to you by the dozen.

If it's such a demand, it must be worth the time and  effort and
 profit to charge $20.00 for two.

I'm thinking gas, travel time plus your time for standing inline could cost up to $40 bucks, so what do you guys think?

The cronut only cost $5.00.  Maybe I will start a cronut delivery service and advertise on Fusion Cash, who's with
me?
No lol ! Honestly people need to learn to freaking cook hahaha ! I would rather have a pake any way!

For those of you that don't know what it is it is basically croissant pastry dough made into a doughnut. Nothing to spend an arm and a leg on.

I live in the country.   :)  What is a cronut?
Seriously, that was my question also. No clue whatsoever, so I'm glad you asked and glad I learned what it was.  Learn something new every day!

I personally think the whole thing is ridiculous!!!  Who in their right mind would spend $5.00 for a "cronut" - answer = only those who have nothing better to do with the money.  Well, sadly, I can think of a lot better things to do with $5.00 - especially if you can "afford" to throw it away on some silly faddish food - GO BUY A HOMELESS PERSON A DELICIOUS SANDWICH WITH THE $5.00 - DEFINITELY BETTER WAY TO SPEND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
