Aussie Animals

[smurfy92au]

how can people sell the aussie animal albums for more than they are brought for they are $5 not $45.. its not fair to those who need one. i want one for my son for when hes old enough to look and read them or at lest listen to me reading them to him(hes only 4 month old and i have the whole collection minus the book). its not fair when ther are people that sell it for ridulcus prices

I'm really sorry that you were unable to buy one at the release price.

As for the resale of them, that's business. Buy a product at price A and hopefully sell it at a higher amount =>profit.

The consumer determines the price that something is worth, so if people want to pay that $45, then that is what they are worth.

A free market is a condition of capitalism.

The album is downloadable from the Woolworths site. Why don't you print out the pages and buy a folder with plastic sleeves and card inserts? It would be more durable and you could re-use it for any other card collections.

Just don't buy from that seller.

Keep an eye out on ebay and see if the same thing comes up cheaper from anyone else. It doesn't sound as if this is a totally urgent item, so you can afford to wait.

The other thing you can do is actually advertise on gumtree and ask if anyone has one to sell and what price they are after.

You may get lots of replies or none, it's a funny site but ads are free so no harm trying.

Good luck with that one.  Type in "woolworths album" and 280+ come up.

Lotsa capitalism out there.

First week out they were on sale @ 2 for $8.   I got 2 for grandkids while I could.  Glad I got in early.

But I think sportandplay is on the money there with downloading

[imastawka]

Also I think Woolworths have done the downloading thingy because there was a typo

in one of the word games that you wouldn't want your kids to read.  They recalled all the albums.

I think that's why the albums are fetching high prices

You should have bought 10 of them stalka!

Then you could have retired!
