    Hi guys, just stumbled across this site and I would like to congratulate all the 'spotters' for their hard work.

    After spending most of the morning reading through the comments, it appears to me that when a 'spotter' advises us of a stock update all the genuine folks who are looking for these hamsters miss out because of the 'buy to sell' browsers on here.

    Is there anyway we can set up an private service where the spotters email the genuine lookers?.

    I've been looking for just over a month and I can't believe I not got one yet. The closest I've come is pressing the complete on a transaction only for them to advise me out of stock!!!

    May have to buy a real hamster instead


    hi i see where you are comming from but there is no way of knowing who anyone is so setting up a private group wouldnt really help.

    it is all about helping each other, i have posted when i saw some hamsters the other day and i was gratefull when i managed to get a house due to a spotter on here.
    In the end, we decide if we're remembered for what happened to us or for what we did with it ;)

    Oh well, at least we can take comfort that some rich kid will be having a lovely christmas this year!;):rotfl:
    Went to the paper shop - it had blown away.
  • Num muns and Chunk been in stock at Boots for 5 mins now :)
  • Just seems a bit unfair that the browsers are getting them before us.

    Can we set up a private group where non browsers cant view?

    Just an idea

    Hi Jennie, I set up the private group.

    It's doing very well with lovely people swapping and selling for what they paid.

    That is rather an amusing comment coming from someone with 2 posts.
    Not being nasty but can see my point?
