Argos are out of stock for delivery again, is this the start of the shortages?

Not likely. Argos sell out, get in stock, eBay specualtors buy 'em. Out of stock again, few days pass, re-stock, Argos sell out.... and so on..

I have yet to meet a parent with a toddler who knows/wants one of these.

This is a money saving forum and I think a few people got caught up bulk buying these with a view to make a profit. There is still no demand. While stocks may be low, so is demand.

Woolworths top ten selling toys:

Its long gone from Amazons top selling toys.

Kids want toys about the TV series they watch. Backyardigans, Dr Who, Lazy Town, Cars, etc. Not some red muppet they have no association with or don't recognise. There has been no advertising for Elmo as the Christmas adverts hot up. What creates toy demand is kids screaming for toys. I just don't hear any from kids this year

I'm not trying to be a party pooper or anything, I just think people should not be putting their hope into making a lot of cash this year on Elmo. eBay prices continue to fall, while some are advising to sell closer to Christmas, if everyone sells at the same time, the prices will crash even more.

To a point, I agree with you. It's insane and the speculators deserve to get shafted

I would say that toy sellers fabricate sales charts to reflect the toys they want to shift because of their deals with suppliers. Totally bogus sales charts then get unsuspecting parents and grannies to buy what they most want to sell. For example, Woolies sales charts are quite bonkers. The toy sellers will deny this but then, of course, they would wouldn’t they? Interesting to see that Tamagotchis are at the top of Woolies sales again this year - in all their varieties.

If parents are stupid enough to get their darlings the “must have” toy, rather than thinking about what is the most appropriate gift for their child, then they deserve to get shafted. I say this as a parent of two pre-teens. Think back, how many tinies prefer to play with the wrapping paper and the empty box rather than the expensive toy then?

Older kids want the latest gadgets but you’re not legally obliged to buy them. It’s not illegal to say to a teenager “Why not get the expensive stuff in the sales?” or “Sorry, I just can’t afford it” :cool:

Remember, this site is about moneysaving, not shredding piles of cash that most people don’t have just because you feel pressured. Pay off your credit cards first and worry about expensive toys second. You know it makes sense

i think it will be funny when everyone puts them on ebay and there are going to be thousands and go for a lot less then they are worth!!

Cost is £14.45 (small packets) to the States or about £18 for signed for . You can pay online at the Royal Mail website and print out prepaid label - brilliant - saves time queuing in the Post Office - unless you need signed for.

It cost me £19.03 to send it Airsure with proof of delivery. But i had to repackage it because it can on be max of 90cm (Lengh, Width & Height), i had put on a bit to much bubble wrap.




So far i have sold 5 of the 13 i have purchased.

I have also given my 9th month old son his and a friends child had one for free. (Of which they both love them to bits)

So i have got 6 left to shift and i only need to sell them for £20 each to break even.

I decided to get my spare on on ebay last week, sold for £49 inc p&p so a bit of profit was made, also got greasypalms cash back. Makes the one i bought for my son quite cheap.

Andy,

When sending abroad, do you simply take the parcel to the PO, pay postage costs and they do the rest or do you need a customs decleration etc?

Sort of.

But i got a few Airsure / Customs Dec and Airmail things when i was last there so i can prepare it all in advance now.

The customs dec in only 1 line of info as it is low value.
