On ebay, oh the irony....

"Go Go Hamster (Chunk) + Garage + Car Used Once!

EVERY CHILD WANTS ON FOR XMAS -THE SHOPS ARE SOLD OUT!



Followed by....

This is in excellent condition having only been used for about 10 minutes.

This is the gift every child wants this Chistmas- don't miss out! "

Poor sole, probably had his prized possession ripped out his little hands when the parent realised how much they'd get for it on ebay :rolleyes:

I often look at the completed listings on ebay to see if there are any changes in what they are going for. Hamster prices have definately cooled slightly but the accessories are still pricey.

I've noticed the beds and carriers with blanket seem to be going up in price.

There are certain days of the week / times of day when things go for less because there are not so many of the target audience viewing the item, and so are not viewing the listing to put just one more last minute bid in. For example, most people wouldn't list a child's toy to finish between tea time, bath time and bed time, and would have it finishing either during the day when mum (or dad - lets be politically correct here) might be on the PC or after 8.30pm when the kiddies are tucked up in bed. So if anyone is wanting to get something cheaper off ebay, look for things finishing at times of the day or days of the week when less of the target audience may be viewing and try to get your final bid in no more than 20 seconds to go as by the time people realise you've outbid them, they haven't got time to counter bid (unless they've already put in a higher bid that the system can bid up to automatically, then they could still beat you - got to be a fast typist though!).

Well, I see play.com aren't exactly selling out of their £40 add ons quick.

Wilkinsons next week amongst other stores Tesco, Asda etc etc (only some stores though). Read back through all today's posts and you'll find all the info you need about up coming stock - I don't think anyone wants to keep repeating themselves...
