Have you managed to get a house or ball? They would be okay on their own with a hammie from what I can gather and the surf thingamy. Ayrshire argos due stock in december as I have said before (well so they told me but given situation might not happen.) Don't give up, I'm still hoping!:rotfl:

On that note the bed I thought I had that I spent ages trying to get through the checkout was apparently OOS in the end up. :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm gobsmacked that anyone would want to help a scammer by buying into the raffle, which incidently isn't allowed on ebay.

He reckons he will ask ten punters to watch the draw 'live' online via webcam!:rotfl:

It isn't just against eBay policy. From what I recall, it is illegal in the UK to run a paid for lottery without registering it.

Yes, suckers only lose a pound but this scammer could earn over £60 for a £9.99 hamster.

Nice work if you can con it!

Just a little tip about Wilkinson. If you local store has stocked Go Go pets, but the shelf price labels disapear I wouldn't assume that this means they wont have them again. The Go Go stuff has been selling very fast which often leaves an empty shelf in the toys section. In our store the section leader will sometimes remove the shelf tickets and face across this gap (i.e. fill it with other types of toys) as they don't think big empty gaps looks good. I have seen this happen 3 or 4 times with the Go Go pets stuff. When it comes in again on a delivery the shelf edge labels are replaced and the Go Go items re-stocked.

I did think about this and figured if you sold a worthless item and gave one lucky buyer the hamster as a bonus would that be legal

Hi

Thanks for that. Do they put them in the same place as they were before or could they be in a different place in the toy section?

Thanks

For example, if you sold that hideous christmas jumper that your mother in law knitted for you last year and mentioned in the auction that they would get a free hamster if they bought the jumper?

You could do that but I remember that as a seller you won't be able to leave your buyer neg feedback if it all goes &^$* up!
