OH my, can you imagine the poor staff confronted my a flash mob of people screaming that the code is theirs!

The police will have to be called in with riot shields!

Simpywimpy there will be many lurkers on here, some who have not even registered on martins site, purely so they can glean information and beat us to it!

I'm off now, if my post further back isn't picked up by the lady in question then I will go down to argos and pick up the hammies myself and pass on to someone at cost rather than let them be sold on greedbay.

I cannot help but think that your post may be indirectly ( or directly aimed at me) i joined the site yesterday granted because i saw information from people about the hamsters, that does not mean to say that i wish to sell whatever hamsters i can manage to grab thanks to the kindness of people on here.... they are literally for my daughter.... i am not a liar or a lurker or whatever you want to call it..

I am a student nurse and i work 12 hour shifts at present... i am off today and working the next 4 so i have no time to try and get my hands on any of them, and i never thought for one minute that they would be so difficult to get a hold of. if i get any of them then great but if i dont and if no one here wants to offer any help then that is fine... just because i have never joined before today does not mean that i'm not a regular reader of the posts on here and certainly doesnt mean that i am a dishonest person... i have never sold a thing on ebay and onyl ever buy nursey things or webkinz for my daughter. However at the end of the day its for people tomake up their own minds whether i am trustworthy or not... christmas is my responsibility and i accept that and if i dont manage to get any go go products then my daughter will just need to wait til after christmas!

Stock is filtering through argos again.
Does anyone know if you buy a funhouse, and take a receipt to another store, will they honour the £4.99 hamster?

PM sent, does anyone have the direct numbers for the stores, the stock checker isn't working :-(

OMG, there's people selling kind of 'raffle tickets' on ebay at 99p per 'ticket' to win all 4 hamsters. One's had 470 people buy a ticket from them, and one person will win the hammies. They'll end up with £450 for £40 worth of hamsters. Is that even allowed on ebay?

Not allowed - you can report them.

It is my query too ... aired it 2-3 weeks back. I actually went so far as to ask Character whether they would have split the cartons for Argos and the answer was no.

Argos must have :
1. Sold out of the Slides and Wheels really early and de-listed before we noticed
2. Sold them on to someone else having decided to sell only the car
3. Made a big cockup and are still sitting with these in the stockroom

I have no idea which is true

Lets hope it's No 3 and they suddenly come across them!!

There's an awful lot of these at the moment and although people have been reporting them ebay doesn't seem to be too bothered- as long as they get their 10% commision

Bet the Littlewoods one will be OOS again when going to checkout!

You could still reserve them and then give the codes to a member from here rather than letting some greedy person snap them up for ebay?

not telling you what to do. x

Personally, I disapprove of the reservations when the person has no intention of buying.

That action stops the technology challenged grannie from popping into Argos and picking up a hamster for their grandchild.

Plus, there are plenty of eBayers on here anyway ... you just don't know who ... and you could be passing on a code to someone who will resell anyway.

My advice ... stop it.
