Best Way to track Zhu Zhu's?

[sbpebbles]

so we all know we're on the hunt for the same items..What's the best way to track when a site has them available? about a min ago, again Amazon.com, said they were available, and 2 seconds later it wouldn't let me check out..I have all my info there already..I've just keep refreshing the page..but is there any easier way to doing this? DD7 really wants one but I can't see paying the high prices they want on craigslist or ebay..thanks everyone! If I'm able to get some I would be more than happy to PIF to someone who is looking as well..

if you are looking to successfully grab one online you need not only a system that moves at ultra fast speeds but you need to be attached to that system at all times.

I'd stick with stalking the stores for them honestly. But I did see on another board that some people got them and checked out while they were in stock. But they were already at the computer with Amazon open to the zhu zhus before the alerts came on.

You can sign up for alerts on nowinstock.net. They will send you an email if anything becomes available online. That is how I got mine but you need to be lightning fast to get them.

Just grabbed a three pack from amazon. I had my page on www.zoolert.com. Click on the zhu zhu pet, and the page refreshes every minute. When they are in stock, the page sounds an alarm. It is great!

zoolert sends emails also. I got an email to my phone and got to order one today My 2 year old loves the commercials and will get a kick out of the hamster.

Now, I'm hoping for the car. I've got my new alert set for that

 

[tnkrbell13]

I got the 3 pack from amazon earlier today with the nowinstock site. I keep it open and then set the alarm on and it rang and I clicked the link and went ahead. I was already signed in to amazon so it took seconds. I already had other stuff in my cart for DS so I also got free shipping.

 

[sbpebbles]

How often are the alerts going out? any rough ideas?

 

[sbpebbles]

ok so i got the alert from zoolert and went right to the website which said it was available for 31.99 but once again when i got check out on amazon.com, it said the whole we're sorry....unavailable...grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

I had just posted on the family forum. I couldn't find any so bought one today on Ebay for $35!!!!! And then another diser posted that CVS had them so I headed out to CVS and found the sleeping bag and the last zhu zhu hamster they had!!! SO now I have two but try CVS. My local store you have to ask for them, they are kept locked up in the back LOL One to a customer!!!
I am feeling a little sick of spending the $35 on ebay but I was so scared not to find one and found one the same day.

we don't have any CVS around me..i did call the ones within a fairly decent drive from here, about hour and half and they said they were out and not sure when they are getting more in and a few even said they weren't going to carry them..

Another vote for zoolert.com!

You can keep the trackers open on your computer and will get an audible alert when the items go in stock and they also send out alerts via e-mail, etc.

You have to be quick though! You never know how much stock a retailer has and there's tons of other people after the same thing!

I've had great luck with zoolert and they alerted right away for the Amazon zhu zhu pet three pack that was available today and also the Amazon starter set with patches that was available today. Many happy people on zoolert today.

They also track other hot toys like mindflex,the spongebob lego set, Playmobil pyramid, etc

just a heads up there is a seller on Amazon that has some for $9, i'm gonna try for that one..anyone else wants one I suggest trying that..
