Isn't it funny that when TMX Elmo was on Good Morning America, and The View prices were very high.  People were buying in LOTS for big money, and now everyone is panicking and GIVING them away!  I know people paid at least $90.00-$115.00 per elmo back in October and for the past week or so selling them for around $65.00 or less.  I am in awwwwww.. since if you have kept up with all the weekly advertisements (every week) including BLACK FRIDAY.....there have been NO ELMOS(TMX) in any advertisements!  I have read in several articles that black friday is no longer the BIGGEST shopping day, but the Saturday before Christmas.  I cannot understand camping or standing in line for hours/days to aquire a hard to find item or limited quantity item to BREAK EVEN.  We all know that listing fees, final value fees, and paypal fees are not cheap.  It is hard to run an online business when you have sellers that undermine the final dollar.  I have asked around -Wal-Mart, EB Toys, Toys R Us, K-Mart, and everyone says that they are not expecting anymore anytime soon. EB Toys has a pre-sale list that they do not think they will fulfill before Christmas. Target has recieved very limited quanities and sell out within minutes of opening the doors.  I am not looking to make millions off of elmo but I run a successful e-bay  business- If sellers would stick together on pricing since after all we have hit the payment and aquired such items we would all stand to benefit.

Happy Holidays!
