Littlest Pet Shop rip-off on Ebay

I just wanted to let you know that 99.9% of sellers of LPS are ripping you off, if you go to the Hasbro . com you will find most of the sets sell from 3.99 and up. Same goes for retail stores like Wall-mart, Target and so on. You may wonder why I'm writing this guide, and here is the reason: 1) I love ebay for the wonderful opportunity to find great items at more affordable price ( and that includes shipping). 2) Besides being an active buyer, I also sell items on Ebay ( which gives me an opportunity to bring to my customers great deals). 3) But most important I am a mom of a 3 year old girl who happens to love those critters and when she asks me to get her a lady bug ( which some people think worth !!!$20!!!) or a sea horse, the only thing I can tell her that it is toooooooo expensive:( There is also the SHIPPING matter: how about 3.99 to 8.95 and some times more for a toy that weight about 3-8 oz, I do understand the time it takes and shipping materials do cost money to, but most of the sellers get them for free or at the price of .05-.09 cents depends what the size of the box or envelop you get. So , before you buy Littlest Pet Shop Items on Ebay make sure that you know what the stores near you charge, all you have to do is go on their web sites or just use google search, and if you do find a good deal be sure to check shipping cost, after all a good deal is after you add shipping not before!!!!! Be a smart and educated Ebayer! Good Luck:) ! P.S. Dear sellers! Littlest Pet Shop are just cute toys for kids , it is already hard as it is to go to the store and buy something decent for kids at a good price, so Ebay became a great way to save money and still bring smile to our kids when they get that lady bug or what ever it is, SO PLEASE DONT TAKE THAT AWAY, stop abusing the popularity of toys and let parents to see the smiles on their kids faces without getting broke!!!!!!
