I have been trying to get a read on how many Elmo TMX's have been sold and are selling on Ebay. Well, people are throwing all kinds of numbers out there, due to the fact that they have done a search by inputing TMX Elmo in the search area. Actually, you have to subtract all of the other types of items that are being sold with TMX Elmo in the title. This is what I came up with to put in the start new search area>>>>>   Copy and paste this in the search area:
elmo tmx -barbie -card -cards -drill -target -costume -shoes -shirt -bag -email -address -stickers -ball -necklace -dvd -game -keychain -Spanish -French -Chair -video -halloween -socks

You can add other items in the search, but just make sure you put a minus (-) in front of the item, so the search doen't include that item. The final result will be the English Speaking Elmo TMX's that seem to be in high demand. I excluded the French and Spanish dolls because they are not fetching the primo price. This should give you a read on how many have been sold and how many are actively online (EBAY) being sold. I am personally using this as a gauge to see if the quaintity decreases or increases over time. If it decreases than you know they are short on the supply side. We already know they are high on the demand side. By knowing this you should be able to list the ones you have at the optimal time and get the most money. You can also buy the Elmo's on Ebay to make a profit later before Christmas........... Good Luck!!

I want to add that there is some error to this method. Many closed Elmo TMX auctions were stopped early by the seller. I guess they are going to wait until later, so the 60,000 sold since the 10th of September might be a bit misleading. The active auction search is fairly accurate. 

The new search as of 11-11-06 is:

elmo tmx -spanish -french -chair -barbie -slippers -bed -lamp -ornament -stickers -target -ebook -card -dress -shirts -pajama -software -shoes -party -emails -read -outfit  -vacuum -sweater -guide -dvd -shirt -pajamas -tracker -tracking -track -ball -how -mystery -retail -email -domain -search

This search will turn up about 7770 current auctions of English Elmos. Good luck.
