1400 Visitors - THANK YOU
I have had 1400 unique visitors for the months of Nov/Dec and I would like to thank you for taking the time to read about my experience trying to obtain these little pests. There have been some haters and there have been some really nice people that have tried to help me out. Thanks goes out to the ones that deserve it.
The moral of this whole story is crazy and nuts, now it is Dec 23 and still no Zhu Zhu's for my daughter. I'm waking up tomorrow morning early and I will be out until the stores close to try and accomplish, like the Chicago Blackhawks say "ONE GOAL", instead mine is a little different "ONE HAMSTER"

Ebay's Bubble has bursted
Looks like in the past 10 days the bubble on Ebay bursted, you can know pick these guys up at cost of course it is too late for me to pick one up on ebay and have it shipped on time..
Ebay Auctions for Zhu Zhu Pets 8,905
It looks like the new 4 are going for a couple of bucks over cost but looking at the completed auctions know one has been buying the original 4 for anything over cost.
I hope these sellers our stuck with these, yes they made there money but there are going to have a hard time trying to dump these hamsters. Look for these resellers in stores after Christmas returning them...Just give them eye contact and laugh :)

One more day for the hunt
Well I want to thank the kind people that offered up Zhu Zhu's to me, I have been sick and haven't been online lately. Nice time of the year to be sick. Well no Zhu Zhu's as of yet, I tried this morning at Walmart and there was way too many people in line. I'm going tomorrow to Walmart & Toys R US in a last ditch effort.
On Saturday I went to a flea market and I was surprised with all the vendors selling Zhu ZHu's.. they wanted $35 a piece for them.. People where eating it up. Amazing!!!!
Stay tuned because I will get one tomorrow I can feel it...
Wish me luck!

Pre Order new Zhu Zhu pets
I just got a link from a buddy of mine about the new color zhu zhu pets that are in the stores now. I'm sure there are a couple of sites out there doing this but I just came across one that is offering Pre-Order for the colors at $14.99 each but they will not be shipped until January. It doesn't really help me out as I need them for XMAS but I thought for those that aren't resellers if you post a comment on my blog I can send you the link , I would post it on here but I don't want it to get in the wrong hands.
CVS Pharmacy - Cary, IL
I had a tip that they where going to be getting these Zhu Zhu's in any day so I went into the store today and talked to the nice lady there. They aren't getting any and it has been so bad she told me that they get over 50 phone calls a day asking about Zhu Zhu's. The funny thing is there is a Big note on the front door stating that they are sorry but they will not be getting in any Zhu Zhu pets.. I will try to take a picture of it tomorrow with my camera.
If today was like the great depression I really think I would have a better chance of finding a loaf of bread and a can soup instead of finding a Zhu Zhu... wait a minute we aren't that far off.

Ebay Update & Who Profits?
45,486 Active Zhu Zhu Pet auctions on ebay!
But here is the sick part 255,805 have SOLD since August 30th. Now I'm going to base an average price of $35.00 to that number and the estimated total sales would be $8,953,175.00
I bet Ebay is loving this, lets say each auction costed the buyer $0.35 to list the item and lets say the average price of each item sold was $35.00 that would be a total of $2.89 in fees just to ebay (NOT INCLUDING PAYPAL FEE's), now times that by 255,805 which are the completed auctions and EBAY gets $739,276.45 just off people selling Zhu Zhu's on Ebay. I'm sure that number is low but I think we all get the picture.
You can almost see why most retailers that carry Zhu Zhu pets have increased the prices.
I'm sure Cephia is doing well these days but I would love to hear the comments from the CEO of Cephia on what he thinks of these numbers.
Lets say Cephia's cost on these hamsters is $2.99 (give or take) and they sell them to retailers like Walmart for $4.99 that would mean based off of Ebay;s completed auction numbers Cephia would have sold only $764,856 for the 255,805 auctions. That is almost equal to the amount of fee's collected by Ebay. Big difference in those 255,805 auctions from gross sales of $764,856 to almost $9 Million in sales. Don't get me wrong, who knows if Cephia purposely limited these to retailers, which I think they didn't because like most US business's times are tough and if the product wasn't going to sell before the holidays would it make sense to carry a large inventory of them?
The point of this story is that yes some people made some money selling Zhu Zhu's on Ebay but at the end of the day the true winner was EBAY and the craze is not even over.
I have received a ton of hits from this blog and all I'm trying to accomplish is one thing, a damn Zhu Zhu pet for my kids. The story has gone from a Dad trying to get a Christmas gift, to seeing the Greed of people profiting from the hamster sales, to learning that Ebay made more $$$ off 255k of zhu zhu items than Cephia.
I'm still on a mission here and I will accomplish this before Christmas, if not my kids will read this post later in life and they will understand all the crap I have gone through and why I wasn't able to get one.

Toys R US 7am sale - NO Zhu Zhu for ME
Wow, I got to Toys R US this morning around 6:30, i took one look at the line and said forget it. TRU was letting the first 50 reward members get Zhu Zhu's and after I counted the people in line there was easily about 100 of them.
I'm still on the hunt.. thanks to the kind person that left a message about the Zhu Zhu's at Shopko.com.. I thought I scored because I added one to my cart and by the time I went to checkout it was out of stock..
This whole experience has been crazy and I'm yet to give in....stay tuned for my updates.

Target in Crystal Lake, IL
I hit this store first thing this morning when they opened and when I pulled in parking lot 20 minutes before they opened I noticed one woman standing outside waiting to get in. So I waited until 2 minutes before the store opened and I stood out front. Now when I got to the door the woman looked me up and down and we didn't speak to each other but we both new what each other was doing there, ZHU ZHU's...
The door opened and I have to say I have seen a 40 year old woman run so fast in my entire life, I couldn't believe it, so I said shit I have to catch up.. So I got to the Toy isle and she was already there and NO Zhu Zhu's. The look on her face was priceless because she had this smile on her face like.. HA HA I bet you to the Toy isle.. Way to go Babe!!!
So I left Target and I hit Walmart in Crystal Lake, IL. Funny thing here was I was right behind the woman from Target so was going there to... No luck as usually nothing.. notta.. zip.
I'm still on the Hunt and I will try again tomorrow.

Toys R US 3pm sale - Crystal Lake, IL
So I thought I had a chance today, I got to my local Toys R US in Crystal Lake, IL around 2pm for the sale to start at 3pm. The line was out the door, I stood in line and then an employee came around and was counting all the people, because they where selling to the first 100 families (more like the first 100 people) I saw people with children get like 7 Zhu Zhu's, well anyway I wasn't in the first 100 hundred so NO luck for me today.
Funny thing though is that they had accessories and the first 20 people bought all of them. They where selling 1 of each accessory per person, so people where just buying the whole set.
I must say the characters in line where with out a doubt Ebay resellers, Now I probably look like that as well because there was alot of 40+ year old men standing in line but the main difference is that I'm actually looking to get one for my children. I couldn't tell you how many times I heard people in line say there where going to sell them on Ebay for $50.00... the whole thing just made me sick.

Will Santa be able to deliver Zhu Zhu pets in time for Xmas?
Stay tuned... to find out.
Do you know someone that is having a bad year and is looking for a Zhu Zhu pet that lives in the Northwest Suburbs of Illinois? If so please contact me as I plan on offering (if I can ever get one) a free Zhu Zhu pet to someone that is in need of it this year for Christmas.

Why does this site exist
Ok so I have been getting alot of questions lately about this site and I thought I would take the time to answer them.
1. Why don't you just buy the hamsters on Ebay and be done with it instead of spending so much time driving and shopping for Zhu Zhu's.
Well I'm not going to give in to paying a penny more than what the store's are selling them for. The only reason there is a demand for these hamsters are 2 reasons.
1. Children want these so there is a very big demand because the manufacture didn't expect to have such a popular toy before Christmas.
2. Now with that said, people are buying these just to make a quick buck off them.. Is it Fair?? You be the judge but my opinion is that people are taking advantage of a toy that use to sell for $4.99 6 months ago and are selling them for $40 +.. The sad thing is if people stopped buying these on Ebay, the resellers would buy them in the stores, because of one simple reason "They Can't make any money off them". If this is not a Typical case of American Greed I don't know what is.
2. What is the point in taking so much time to document all this?
Honestly, it is for my family and I to look back at this and laugh. I want my kids to read and see what I had to go through to find these damn hamsters. I came up with the idea after my mom was telling me about how she used to go to stores and search for toys I wanted for Christmas. Especially the Cabbage Kids back in the 80's. So I thought why not document this.
3. Will you stop blogging once you have found them?
No, I enjoy writing and posting online so to me this is a fun journey, plus I'm sure my kids will want all the new zhu zhu's that are coming out, so I don't see the adventure stopping any time soon.
4. Why even bother exploiting people that are selling them on Ebay.
Honestly I understand the demand for these Zhu Zhu pets and I understand the greed we have in today's society. I have listed some of the Ebay sellers on my blog because these are the people that are buying up all the Zhu Zhu's in my area. These people are greedy and could care less about the toy. They are simply out to make money at the expense of parent, now ebay is based on supply and demand so if people list the auction and $0.99 they know they will sell this item for alot more than that. I have stood in plenty of lines and have not been able to get one and I have been to stores where I have watched people grab the last toys off the shelves. The simple fact is I need to get these for my children because that is what they want for Christmas.
This message goes out to all the haters. If you don't like what you are reading or have negative comments, please keep them to yourself, this is a blog and if you want to act or talk like a redheaded step child who's ass still hurts 20 years later from your parents beating it, go do it somewhere else.

There are a ton out there but I will focus on a 30 mile radius from my house.This list is not complete by no means they are just a few from my searches today.

Ebay Seller "Zpets"
During the Thanksgiving break this seller "Zpets" sold close to $40k of Zhu Zhu pets, the seller was advertising them as pre-orders and that he would ship them out on Dec 21 with enough time for Christmas Delivery. I just checked the users completed listings and I think Ebay picked up to what the seller was doing because they are no longer selling Zhu Zhu pets and it doesn't show them under the completed listings.
So if you live near Cherry Hill, NJ and know this person please give them a quick kick in the ass.

What is going on with Walmart??
So for awhile now I have been going to at least 10 Walmarts in my area and not one of them has gotten Zhu Zhu Pets in for at least 3 weeks. Is there a shortage??? I don't think so I believe they will have a big announcement soon about what day they will be selling them nationwide.
So far the only stores I have heard of them getting Zhu Zhu's in is Toys R US, CVS and Target.

CVS Pharmacy NW Illinois Update
So I thought I had some inside info on Zhu Zhu's being sold at CVS. Well that is true and I called about 15 stores in my area and all of them have gotten them in earlier this week and they are sold out. I spoke to my local store and the manager told me that it was a mistake because they got an email from corporate to have them on the shelves Dec 7... Honestly I don't know who to believe anymore, but I will try and get them on the 7th.
Toys R Us Online - Add to Cart Scam
Ok so I thought I was able to get them today. I got on Toys R Us online and noticed all 4 zhu zhu pets where in stock. I selected 1 of each and it went through. I hit the check out button and entered my cc info. All good until the final step: I got the fatal error that the items have been canceled and my credit card will not be charged. What a bummer, what pisses me off is that not only did I not get the Zhu Zhu's, Toys R US put a hold on my credit card for 3 business days. I called TRU and all I got was Sorry somebody beat you to the punch.
So for those out there shopping on TRU be careful because if you don't end up getting them or any other toy you will have to wait 2-3 business days for the credit hold to come off.
