OMG - now dont know what to do, I am a recovering hamsterholic - have all that I need (or should that be all my kiddies need) but now - I feel a relapse coming on - I may have to start trawling argos again trying to get new hammies - not sure how we would cope though on xmas day with 8 hammies flying around the house !!!! Oh god someone please help me, I think I need hamster therapy:rotfl:

I know what you mean...i meant to stop at 2 hamsters!

the seller has them in the uk ready to send on. Would probably arrive by christmas even if posted on monday first class, or when i looked earlier it looked as if special delivery would be under £10

if the 2 cheaper ones go for £80-ish then the seller won't make a huge profit (fees and postage would eat up more than £20 i think?) but the ones going for £120 will be more profitable.

It's a shame to think people are paying £120+ for something with approx £55 rrp though.

it is bad how some greedy people out there stock up on what people really need and then hike there prices up and make the stuggling parents pay the xx amount for the most wanted gift and make a good profit just to make a child happy this is very bad,

why can't they just let people get them at rrp price and stop this over rrp spending that could be used for something else

I've said this before (or maybe it was in the mammoth thread that was before this one!) that no-one needs a go go hamster, and in particular, no-one needs the Spanish set. I've bought one for Isaac, and I'm sure he'll like it, but there is no "need" involved.

I only bought the Spanish set so i could get the wheel and the slide as at the time on ebay it worked out more expensive than the Spanish set delivered.

Of course, I did the same. But we don't "need" to buy it at all. We choose to. I would most definitely choose not to pay £80 or £130 or whatever for it, though!

The spanish set at RRP is a bargain

fingers crossed nobody buys them and the ebay seller is left with ten spanish sets they don't know how to return. aren't i mean!

I only bought the extra bits for the house because i thought the wheel would be good but got hold of some of the other parts first in the way to get the wheel

then after speaking to my mum she said be as well getting the new hamsters and accessories when they come out

Has any one noticed that the page layout for the spanish order history page when you click to view it in more detail keeps on changing from small have a page to full big page.

Once again well said, I bought one for my DD but that was more because I wanted the wheel (I never had a hamster whilst I was growing up:rotfl:) and me and DH thought it looked quite cool, I'm sure she will enjoy it but she doesn't actually need it, none of use need any of this and as jellyhead says these sellers may get their just desserts, or they will have one hell of a hamster city set up on Xmas day:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Imagine the poor postman staggering along the street to deliver 10 in the first place (-:

The parcel we got, with 3 (1 for Isaac, 2 for my nanny's nieces) was quite hefty enough.
