    normally, if someone buys up the last of some cheap stock with the intention of re-selling on ebay, they are berated on here for preventing others from buying it at the lower price.

    why, in that case, are there 60 pages on this thread dedicated to the exact same thing?

    is it because nobody has been disappointed and unable to get hold of one yet?

    if so, that's pretty disappointing, and IMO goes against the ethics of this website.

    says top secret on box and when you open flap elmo says "feeling very ticklish in here".

    Yes and one did get the fright of her life when she opened the flap! :rotfl:

    I've had this argument before a few pages back and decided to leave it as you end up being flamed, but I 100% agree with your post, a lot of people here are going to be very well off come christmas morning or surrounded in 6ft of elmo poo:D I know which one I'd love to see:rotfl:
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    I can't think of anything remotely intelligent to say to that, so thought I'd just post my favourite wildlife pic instead...

    Yeah, but the price pushed up by a "new" 0 feedback bidder. Shill-bidding??

    I just sold one for £56. Highest bidder had no feedback so twice in the last few minutes i cancelled all of his bids only for him to bid again and surprise surprise he won it and has paid for it via paypal.
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..
    Blimey what was that ?
    That was your life mate
    Oh I wasn’t quite ready can I have another go ?
    Sorry mate only one per person.

    That was your one? £56 including postage?

    I'd be prepared for a lot of sudden "0" feedback bidders to arrive on ebay. Rivals also selling Elmo's who want to ruin it for others.
