A controversial method for farming Pudgy Penguin tokens (PENGU) is making waves online, claiming a $20,000 investment in Pudgy merchandise could yield a $50,000 profit. However, this claim is based on highly speculative assumptions and raises ethical concerns.
According to X user @Deroidz, buyers could redeem NFTs linked to Pudgy plushies and figurines, potentially earning $50 per item from the upcoming Pengu token (PENGU) airdrop.
The math works out—1,000 items at $50 each equals $50,000, delivering a profit of $30,000. But there’s a catch For this plan to succeed, you’d need to bulk-buy $20,000 of merchandise, scan 1,000 unique QR codes, and return every item to Amazon for a refund.
The loophole assumes Amazon won’t flag such an unusual request, and more importantly, that each NFT will receive $50 worth of PENGU—something users are skeptical about.
Official information and community discussions suggest the actual value per NFT will be significantly lower, potentially closer to $0.50 or a similar fraction of a dollar, rendering the profit margin negligible or non-existent.
One observer correctly pointed out that based on Pudgy NFT distribution and emerging information about the tokenomics, the token value might land closer to $0.50, not $50. This drastically shrinks any potential profit to mere pennies, if any.
Some users have raised concerns about this approach, warning that it could harm the Pudgy Penguin community by creating artificial demand and disrupting genuine buyers. Instead, they suggested donate the toys to charity.
Adding to the frenzy, some New York stores have already seen Pudgy Penguin boxes opened, with QR codes missing—suggesting intense demand. Meanwhile, users on X criticized the idea of returning scanned toys, calling it “lame” and urging buyers to donate them instead.
In short, this method might seem tempting, but buyers should approach it with caution, as the risks could outweigh the rewards. Be sure to research thoroughly before jumping in.
