Hello all. You may have heard about
Hatchimals by now? They are the most wanted, hottest and most trending kids toy right now and are high up on most kids wish list (apparently).
Well I'm just wondering whether any marketers here have jumped on the
Hatchimals band wagon craze yet in any way?
We're seeing many new
Hatchimal affiliate sites up and many blogs blogging about it and trying to rank high for it so they can get some affiliate commissions from all those parents!
And they are selling on places like
eBay and
Amazon for upwards of
$300+. Actually, some people are selling Hatchimals on eBay for between
$5-8000 dollars!!!
That is insane!! Insane insane!
Just look at some of these listings for Hatchimals for sale now on eBay (US eBay).

And it's the same for eBay UK as well with Hatchimals selling for £2000 or more!

The crazier thing? If you filter by sold, these are actually selling for £500 to £2000.

As you can see, some of them are listed at up to
$8,000! $8,000 US dollars for a toy! Sure it's a new sort of toy on the market that isn't like anything seen before. But it's also very over highly rated! It's marketed to have 3 stages of life. So it'll come as an egg first and you'll have to persuade it to peck its way out of the egg by rubbing it. Then it will be a baby and you'll have to talk to it and play with it and it will repeat some of the things you say and that and learn new moves you teach it and that. Then it will reach kidulthood and sing "
Hatchy Birthday" song to you and can do other stuff like dance and that and it's meant to take a child a fair bit of time to make it reach the adulthood.
But if you see this post on SuperiorThan about
Stores charging up to $300+ for Hatchimals: Where to buy Hatchimals cheap. One mother left her
review of the Hatchimal she purchased for her son on Facebook. And here's what she had to say about it.
Thought I would write a review as all Im seeing is parents desperate to get their hands on one. So this one is 1 week old and has been played with for a few hour! The best bit was it hatching and then we had to break it out as it wasn't working! It grew up from a baby to fully grown in a few hours, it doesn't talk it just records the child's voice and plays it back, has a few games that are boring and once played they don't want to play again. All you can do is feed it by tilting it forward, stroke it when it gets cold and pat its head if it's scared. Also once you take it out of the box it starts hatching takes around 20 mins to an hour so make sure your children are ready to sit with it and help it hatch. Overall not worth the money. #hatchimal
I think she purchased hers for the standard
RRP of $59.99. But there are many people taking advantage of the craze and demand that these toys have created. No parent wants to say no to their kid at Christmas if they ask for one of these.
And people are taking advantage of this by selling them for crazy high prices. Those are the people that are selling those Hatchimals that you see here probably lol.
I remember when
Flappy Bird game came out and was pulled from the appstore how phones that still had the game installed were selling for around
$5-10k! lol
Isn't it crazy how things like that sell for prices like that. Who in their right mind would pay
$10k for a phone with a simple flappy bird game installed on it?
And who in their right mind would pay
$8000 for a small toy that hatches from an egg? I can only assume anyone that has more money than sense. Some vastly wealthy sheik from Dubai or a prince or something where money is no object to them lol.
Seriously, even if I was a billionaire, I still wouldn't buy one for
$8000 when the
RRP is $59.99. Not unless it was the last one and the life and happiness of my child depended on it LOL. But that's exactly why some people (parents) are buying them at that price!
Now there could be some big money to make here. It's the first day of Advent today so you've got 25 days to make as much money as you can from the Hatchimals craze while it lasts! LOL
How to make money from the Hatchimals craze?
Well you could just be as brazen as buying one from somewhere at the RRP selling price of $59.99 and then putting it up for sale on eBay or Amazon or something at around $100 or something. + $9.99 P&P. That would be $50 bux straight profit.
Or you could even put it up for $1000 or $5000? Why not make it $10,00 or $100,000? I'm sure it would get a lot of attention LOL
And if you did manage to sell one at that price, well you do the math!
Okay I'll do some math for you!
Buy all 5 different Hatchimals at the
RRP of $59.99 at cost of
$299.99.
Sell each for $100. That would be $200 dollars profit.
Sell each for $200 and it's double. $300 treble.
Sell them for $1000 and you're basically talking $5k profit.
I wonder if those sellers even have a hatchimal to sell? Do you think they sell it first and then buy it? Of course they do! Most of them anyway I'm sure!?
Anyway, as an entrepreneur. Have you jumped on the Hatchimal bandwagon craze yet?
What other ways could someone make money from this craze right now.
