Next time I get a call from a newspaper I need to take a deep breath and try to remember my new mantra . . . WWTD (What Would Tyra Do).
I have invested enough hours of my life watching Top Model you think I would have learned a thing or two.
I need a little Miss Banks on my shoulder to remind me to maintain poise and dignity when speaking with the press.
My interview with the Christian Science Monitor went out today.
"10 years later, a new ticklish Elmo tops the 'hot toy' list"
Yet another thing for my children to bring up in therapy.
Yes, I do buy them Goodwill junk for Christmas; Little Tikes stuff will be around after the cockroaches have all died out. It will be a barren world filled with Cozy Coupes and Cube Climbers.
I don't really see anything wrong with giving the kids used things, especially when it is something they wanted new anyway. The box and the 67,000 anti-theft wires that trap the toy in the box are cause for tears and tantrums- out of the box stuff is ready to go.
As far as paying $100 for a kids toy, I would for some things. For instance my son is getting a Vtech learning game system - he will love it and play with it for a long time.
If I gave my toddler the TMX she would press his hand. . . (read post) |

| How to find your Elmo TMX and why you shouldn't bother.

Added on 11/15/06 by Betsy
I have realized of late that many of my readers may not be resellers at all. Many of you may have just googled the toy of your child's dreams and found this site.
And what toy are you most likely hunting for . . . Elmo TMX of course.
"I don't want to pay $100 on Ebay for the $40 doll that's ridiculous. I just want to know how to find a toy store that is selling them and run in and grab one off the shelf. That shouldn't be so tough? Ebay sellers are just ripping people off! - Right?"
Let's explore the logistics of scoring an Elmo TMX.
#1. You have to call or go to your local store and find out what day they get shipment.
That sounds easy.
#2. You have to go to the store before they open and stand in line.
OK I can do that.
#3. You can only buy the store limit. For instance the Toys R Us limit is 2 per customer. They can share you say.
Hmmmm . . . let's run through this again realistically:
A. If you are in the market for this doll most likely you have little preschool-toddler age kids. So in order to achieve the first point you have manipulate your way through the toy store then stand there with your children while the. . . (read post) |

| Elmo TMX Prices Increase Time to Cash Out!
|
Added on 10/24/06 by Betsy
Several weeks ago I wrote the world about my sweet Elmo score, then I was publicly humiliated when my coveted TMX prize went unsold in auction.
This week, resale fans, prices on the TMX are up, apparently the supply has not been replenished as the Toys R Us manager had predicted and now is a good time to sell if you have been holding onto your sesame street scrilla.
I put mine up last night for $194.99, buy it now $195.99 and they sold buy it now within 10 minutes. This is a nice increase from the $110 I attempted to sell them for weeks ago with no luck.
See you in line at Toys R Us at the break of dawn!

| Elmo TMX- how to find and sell yours for mad cash
|
Added on 09/30/06 by betsy
So this week's sale of the century wasn't at a garage or warehouse honey. It was at Toys R Us.
Last week I recalled all I had gotten my niece for her birthday was some previously nibbled play food, and since she was standing on the driveway i bought it from- it wasnt actually a surprise.
So out of guilt I went where the Queen rarely goes, somewhere where new in box is an expectation not a bonus. Yup Toys R Us, walkin around the joint I realized how I make such mad cash. Toys are pricey plastic!
While I was wandering around the store I stopped in front of the Elmo display- my niece loves Elmo. Of course there was a giant blank space where there ought to be floor to ceiling Tickle Me Elmo TMX dolls. I had seen a segment on Good Morning America about how these were selling out and my sister had looked up the completeds and told me they were worth $80-$100. Toys R Us is selling them for $39.99.
Now I know to the rest of the world a 100% mark up is unheard of in most things legal, but to the Queen its not all that impressive.
As I was standing there a store person walked by and I asked if by chance they had any Elmos in the back, since what the hell I'm standing there and I have$ 80 bucks burning a hole in my pocket. The dude looked genuinely apologetic and went into this long spiel about how it. . . (read post) |
