    Seriously, why even bother replying to a troll like cheapskate58? Just one check through his/her posting on this site will tell you that he/she is a deeply self-opinionated and self-satisfied person who takes great delight in having a go at people who don't agree with his/her POV. Really not worth bothering getting involved with people like this in my view. it only serves to pump up his/her inflated and totally unfounded self-importance.

    I simply don't understand your attitude. I'm not averse to a bit of speculating myself (although I couldn't personally be bothered with a £35 toy - cars are more my thing) but surely anybody losing money on such a venture isn't something you should wish for?

    Your desire to see people lose their hard earned cash beggars belief. There's no losers if the prices rise - the stores get their money, Fisher Price get theirs, the eBay sellers get their money, and the eBay buyers get their product.

    The only losers, should the value not be there, are the eBay sellers who, I'd hope, have only invested as much money as they can afford to lose.

    There's been plenty of warnings from people, to paraphrase the adverts, that the value of their investment could go down as well as up, but I still don't get why you'd actually wish for somebody to lose out?

    Can you explain it, or are you just lonely and bitter?

    See post above.

    Not lonely or bitter :rolleyes:

    This site is pro-consumer. Ebaying profiteers are just out for themselves :mad:

    I'm getting all Martin Lewis about this :money:

    The voice of reason - sorry, I'll try to do better. Got to go now time to count my wads of ebay cash.:A

    I fall into that category too, mind you I've bought Party Gaming Shares today too, and they are down the toilet at the moment They are potentially a gamble, but also potentially a grabbit,:)...

    Some people will try anything! If one business is reserving all of the London stock then it's a bit unfair on the other 8million residents. Reported to Argos (seller is a Powerseller so no point reporting to eBay).

    Argos T&C states:
    8.5 You may not assign or sub-contract any of your rights or obligations under these terms and conditions or any related order for products to any third party unless agreed upon in writing by Argos.
    Can I help?
