Hi all
I was wondering how to get the best price for my hamsters?
Before you all shout let me explain.
I have some extra hamsters and bits that I want to sell and give the money to the Sheffield childrens hospital who have recently operated on my one month old nephew and over the years treated another of my nephews.
I started looking for hamsters for my daughter but I think she is too old and not bothered about them even though I have dropped some hints.
Do I list them on Ebay ? Amazon prices seem higher but are people buying from their sellers?
I know it is against your principles but I already have the hamsters and want to get the most I can for the hospital.

Hi there, I live in Sheffield and I they have done a lot for my daughter too. I know Radi Sheffield are trying to get a new CT scanner and are trying to raise £50,000. I would ring them, good luck and good on ya!!

That is exactly what is happening! My friend works for Sainsbury's and they had stock in last week and every single item went to staff! They are calling it their christmas bonus, they even have a rota for who gets what!:mad:

As a first poster just want to say thanks for all the info on here :T

:eek: Am surprised they are getting away with that

Go Go Hamsters – Best Prices and Stock Update 19/11/2009
**More Stock at Character Online on November 23rd - check now**
Character Online, the official Go Go Hamster Retailer expect to have more stock in the next week (w/c 23rd November). We will be posting updated stock and price information every hour and so please check back with us. This is the only way to get Go Go Hamsters as as soon as thye come ins tock they will nto last long, so keep checking. Littlewoods had limited stock on Saturday 21st November. Follow Us on Twitter for further stock announcements

To HAVE stock and to LIST it are two different things.

Character already have 3/4 of last weeks own stock unsold but they opted not to list .. reasons unknown.

The above post is simply a re-hash of importation info which I posted previously (probably a month ago) whereby Air freight is due in the UK today and next monday ... hamsters only as I understand it.

By the way, I like the fact that they think hourly updates will help you when you typically need to act within 2 minutes. My own site does 60 second updates for that reason.

this shoudlnt be allowed at all, its not fair on the public if they get all the stock to make a profit, we should be able to do something....they should have a buying limit or something, or every store should have a limit per customer like toys r us and horray

Good morning all.

Interesting post Liz regarding the reasons unknown for not listing all of characters stock.

I wonder if it is to keep the momentum going of keeping the items in high demand as each week only limited amounts are sold, thus keeping everyone still wanting more?

Good luck to everyone today.

I'm presuming that staff have staff discount so this seems not only unfair to the public who want to buy but also sainsbury's losing out on the full retail value.

Can anyone tell me how long one of these hamsters runs around for? I just pressed chunks back through the hole in the top of the box, and its still whirling/sneezing/beeping after 3 minutes and showing no signs of stopping!
