NOT this year’s Christmas hot toy – the Poopsie Surprise Unicorn

I was given a tip a few months ago that maybe the Poopsie Surprise Unicorn MIGHT be the hot toy this year, kinda like the Fingerlings last year (well only if you sold before Christmas.)  I had bought maybe a dozen of these from Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.  I had phone alerts going too and would have to buy in almost a minute before it would go OOS.  These things were about $55 after tax.  I’ve tried to sell some on Ebay and locally for $75 and no bites.  I think a few people sold some for maybe a bit more a month ago.  However, these days, they are pretty easy to find.  Even so, the problem is that they are pretty big.  Imagine the size of a basketball.  Think about the shipping costs!

Luckily I was able to return to Walmart and Target pretty easily.  For Amazon, I was able to do a free drop-off return for 3 of them, but the other 3 passed the return period, so I’ll have to eat a bit of a loss on them.  Lessons Learned – when speculatively buying a Christmas hot toy, try to stick to more friendly return policy stores like Target and Walmart.
