    perhaps in forsight if he had let everyone know that he only had 3, most of us would not have bothered, me for one.

    Yes, I think that most of us wouldn't have bothered if we had known that.

    He has an ebay shop as well. With so few items he could have stuck them on there. I know it's not his fault but an awful lot of us had high hopes.
    Went to the paper shop - it had blown away.

    I have been doing some research for my Psychology and discovered "The Century of Life" on You Tube.. How Freud's theories were used to sell products! It made me think of the 'Hamster Rush' - I haven't posted a link because his theories are controversial and I wouldn't want to offend anyone, but if you want to feel like we have potentially been duped into buying into the Hamster Craze, then have a look on YouTube...:rolleyes:

    I know he had low stock levels but would he have even bothered to list at that small amount cos he could have easily sold them without potentially crashing his site...he knew roughly the sort of traffic he would get by the number of people that registered. Maybe on the stock check thing it wasn't showing the total amount as some had managed to get their orders in before the site crashed. Also, may be they had decided to drip feed batches of stock intemittently to try and reduce the number of people trying to check out at a time - I really don't know? Another thing was that they have an ebay shop (which they are not selling go go stuff on) but if the amounts were that low, I presume he could have just sold them through there...

    No go go stuff left but 10% of all Tomy at mailorderexpress.com. I don't know whether that's a good deal at their prices or not...but thought someone might be interested.
