Elmo TMX
September 20, 2006
I have known this was coming for months. And I am well aware of the big shortage with the original Tickle Me Elmo. And, I am well versed in the ways of Ebay. This is precisely the sort of hot ticket item that will get you ridiculously high prices. However, did I make sure to get to the store yesterday to buy one? Or 10? No. I did not. I tried this morning and had no such luck. After 6 stores I went home and decided to continue the hunt over the phone. After calling every Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us, and Babies R Us within a 100 mile radius, the verdict is..... Elmo is sold out. Why did I tell myself one extra day wasn't going to make a difference? It's not that I didn't know any better. I think it must have just been denial. Luckily, this afternoon I have secured 1 for Mia for Christmas. So at least she is taken care of. But I'm going to have to quit watching the auctions already closing at 175% profit margins when it is only September.
