\n Forget beach bod envy. This summer is all about beach chair envy.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t find a beach chair anywhere,\u201d Brooklyn-based mom Dawn Mark told The Post. She said she scoured the Web for three days before she finally scored one \u2014 for $90.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really overpriced, but I had no choice,\u201d said the 41-year-old, who wanted to sun herself in her backyard while watching her 5-year-old play. To add insult to injury, she got an e-mail days later that the delivery was pushed back \u2014 to Jan. 5. \u201cWhat am I going to do with a beach chair in January? It\u2019s laughable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beach chairs are this summer\u2019s hot seat now that social<\/a>ly distant hangouts \u2014 in backyards, on beaches and in parks or even in parking lots \u2014 are the only way to play. And prices are getting jacked up due to demand from desperate beachgoers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone offered me $500 for a beach chair,\u201d said Butch Yamali, owner of Malibu Shore Club in Lido Beach, LI. \u201cI don\u2019t even have any to give! People try to take the chairs from the pool area to the beach. They\u2019ll do anything.\u201d Plus, due to the coronavirus pandemic, having your own chair is essential: The idea of stretching out on a surface touched by someone else\u2019s sun-blocked bum is so last year. \u201cNo one wants to share anymore,\u201d Yamali said.<\/p>\n

Mark, who also hit up her local hardware store, Home Depot, Ace Hardware and Costco to no avail, said she\u2019s witnessed price gouging for beach chairs: A friend shelled out $180 for a secondhand piece on eBay.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne site listed a basic plastic beach chair for $300. Last year, these chairs were 40 bucks,\u201d she said. \u201cEverything is either out of stock or ridiculously overpriced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beach chairs aren\u2019t the only white-whale product of the summer. Above-ground pools have been hard to come by now that people are hunkered down at home with few options. The Post recently reported that retailers can barely keep up with demand now that most kids\u2019 camps are canceled for safety reasons and entertainment needs to be available at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe paid around $300 more than the recommended retail price, because I couldn\u2019t buy it anywhere else,\u201d said one Westchester mom, who asked to remain anonymous. \u201cWe thought it was worth it for our 7-year-old twins, who had a blast splashing around in it over Memorial Day weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

With all the drama around finding the season\u2019s hottest item, Mark has a new strategy: Think ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to order my salt for winter now, just in case,\u201d she said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
