Would you participate in a Webkinz Exchange?

[PixieDust32]

It seems to be more popular in certain parts of the U.S. then in others, so I wanted to check to see if anyone would be interested in it.

I didn't know what in the world was Webkinz, but Shawny did, her classmate/friend told her about it and we went to a local gift store in town and she got one, then we went online and registered, kind of beanie baby. She love them, so yes, she would love to play.

Is this close to becoming an "Official Exchange" Matt asks me almost every day "is there going to be one"

I'm not interested in the exchange, just chiming in. Ds and dd are to old for it. The stores have tons of them around here. Even the pet store has begun selling them. They also sell these trading card packs that my dd says have codes in them that get you a little virtual something for your online pet.

There's also charms, book marks, lip gloss, body spray, and clothes, what's going to be next. All these items have codes to use on the website not sure about the clothes. These are all very, very popular. Yesterday our school system begun their Thanksgiving break, I couldn't believe all the kids and their parents who came into the store to purchase their webkinz.

What do you think Lisa? How many people do you think we'd have? Patsy pointed out to me that getting something you want, and don't have already, might be hard. I also don't buy mine retail, so what's the average price of these, retail? Maybe that would deter people also? Let me know what you think! EVERYONE!

I'll host it, but we'll have to work on the details before it's "Matt Official"!

"Matt Official"....wait until he wakes up and I tell him that!

Maybe it could just be a wishlist type thing, almost like the Yankees where you list your top 5 wishes or and at least it is something to choose from. I would guess the average price is $13.00, at least in our area and then there are those lovely extras now ...trading cards, bookmarks, mousepad, body spray! Not sure when the next group of new releases will be (there was the Yellow Lab, Seal and another horse that came out about a month or so ago) maybe waiting for that and doing something in Jan-Feb.

Webkinz can run from $13 to $17 depending on the store. My store sells them for $12.99 for the large ones and $9.99 for the small ones (our price is the suggested retail price). I've seem them as high as $16.99 depending on the store.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Lisa & Jean!

Let's reconsider this in Jan-Feb then! Thanks again!

Happy Holidays!

I found a store here that carries Webkinz, and they were selling them for $15.95 .

 

[KimRaye]

That's TOO much imo! I 'heard' from regulars that $13 was norm for big size, and $10 for l'il. Am I off here??

I have seen those prices online, but since there is a limited amount here, they can charge those prices .
