TMX Elmo Discussion Board

Sunday 29 October 2006 @ 9:36 am

I’ve hunted around and so far it seems SlickDeals.net is the best bet for up to date info on hot products. Here is a direct link to the TMX Elmo discussion. I’ll do my best to post some “breaking news” here as the SlickDeals boards can be quite a read as many members seem to have discussions around the topic. That being said, it’s worth the time if you want the best info.

Tickle Me Elmos Selling for $10,000,000 (NOT!)

Friday 20 October 2006 @ 3:45 pm

It’s not like this wasn’t expected!  I think the “selling” is bit misleading as that’s the listing price.   I also find it funny that as soon as ABC hits the wires with this story, there are a flood of $1,000,000+ listings that pop up!

Legitimate sales for individual TMX Elmos seem to be topping out around $120 or so.  I’m sure that will go up as C Day approaches.

ABC News: Tickle Me Elmos Selling for $5,000

But if youre willing to pay a few thousand dollars, there are more than a few sellers at online auction sites like eBay willing to part with theirs — at least one seller is asking for $5,000 for the little guy.
