:eek: Is it wrong that I almost want to put my set on ebay to see what it will go for. To hell with the kids they can buy it in January :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I was thinking that the other day, I've got the ball, slide and wheel but I don't want to part with mine now I have them, I'm looking forward to playing with it all myself on Xmas day, never mind the kids.

OH can cook the Xmas dinner while I play with Hamsters and the Fur Real Biscuit I bought the other day for £94 which arrived at 6.30pm with his picture on 4 sides of the box while the kids were staring out the window, don't think they saw what it was though as it was dark and I had to hide it in the porch and cover it with our coats.

Tesco seem to be drip feeding small amounts of stock throughout the day so they 'may' still have hamsters left. May be it would be worth trying to add them to your basket sporadically throughout the day and you might hit lucky.

Yes this seller, who has a 100% feedback (unbelievable) listed it for £399 buy it now then pulled it the day that all the publicity came out and they were shown on the tv. They then listed it again for £599 - 200 quid increase in one day - talk about trying to cash in! Its free listing fees day on ebay on Sunday so I bet they'll be trying their luck again!

I am amazed this seller has increased their price, but I don't think its the tv publicity that has done it, one mse member posted that they had emailed the seller directing them to this thread :eek: there's a chance they increased the price after seeing here just how desperate parents are! Shame on them for being so blinking greedy! It consoles me to think they have little chance of selling at that price and if they do then my kids can go without and I'll be jetting off to somewhere sunny with my proceeds from selling theirs :rotfl::rotfl:

Hopefully those people will be left with lots of stock and have to sell them for a loss after Xmas. I can understand people adding on a few pounds to cover the fees as they are quite a lot when you have listing fees, FVF and Paypal fees but £29.99 for a carrier is ridiculous, it's not an essential part of the set like the House or one of the add ons.

Thank you to whichever forum guide (or the forum poster) for removing the post I was concerned about last night, it is much appreciated. :T

but the auctions are more 'realistic' i guess it is personal opinion and perspective. one person may prefer to pay 20 quid plus 2 post for a hamster they know they have defo won. then that is it done and dusted. if you buy from TRU or HFT then it is 10 plus 5 for postage and sittin on the pc refreshing all day to find stock, so that is 15 quid plus time/stress

or u can call and drive round and save the delivery charge, but then you have time, phone calls and petrol

so sometimes people will just take the hamster at 20 quid

does that make sense?
