Good grief I've just seen a pink carrier (only) listed on ebay at £20 BIN including postage.

Its quite interesting to look at the completed listings which shows you the sort of money that things are going for. A whole set with 2 hamsters went for a buy it now of £235 + £15 postage (UK seller not one of the USA ones) I think which shows that some people would rather pay more than have the hassle (or should I say go to the effort) of looking around for the items themselves. As you look back over the last few weeks, things were going for a lot less and I bet those people are kicking themselves now (a full set a few weeks ago went for £114 which is actually the RRP).

One of the sellers on ebay is selling argos reservation codes for 4.99!!!

Just a word of warning for anyone buying for younger girls, or even long haired boys.

Make sure the little ones don't put these too close to their faces, I don't know where I read it but I have read that hair can get caught in the wheels. The age 4 recommendation is for smaller parts and might possibly be due to this, but this is something you don't want happening to little ones. I know many of us are saying we are buying for under 4's (myself inc.) so keep this in mind.

I've emailed argos because I think it is terrible that people are allowed to do this:


Reason for enquiry (header) - General
Reason for enquiry (specific) - Other
Comments - I would just like to report to you that there are people on ebay SELLING your reservation codes for go go hamster products. For example, one of the item numbers is 250526658046 for one particular seller who is selling the codes at 3 of your stores for 4.99!!! Surely something needs to be done about this as firstly he is selling something that he has no intention of using himself (i.e. he is not going to use the reservation number to buy the product) and he is preventing others who are desperately trying to get a hold of your stock, in store, from reserving items that they intend to pay for. On behalf of all people trying to get a hold of these items, and of course from a moral perspective as well, I appeal to you to do something about this. Thank you.

I can't understand how they can be listed for nine days on ebay when reservations only last for three max. I can't believe that people are being conned at Christmas time! :mad:

I suspect this seller is just constantly reserving items so he will always have current numbers. He doesn't actually put the code on the listing and he just e mails it after you 'buy' it.
