Zhu Zhu Land

It’s called “Sniping”… and it’s the most successful way to win.

Bidding in the last few seconds of an eBay auction is THE best way to win your Zu Zu Pet and it keeps the price of the Zu Zu Pets from increasing dramatically. Depending on your internet speed… place your bid somewhere between the last 22 seconds and 7 seconds of the auction.

Once a bidder has been outbid, eBay sends emails out that says “You’ve been outbid” … this means your competition also receives this email. So the less time they have to manually increase their bid… the better chance you will have of winning the auction.

1) Make sure you’re logged into eBay
2) Place your MAXIMUM BID… (within the last 22-7 seconds of the auction)
3) After placing your bid, it will take you to a confirmation page… CLICK “CONFIRM”
If done correctly, you should only have 1-3 seconds remaining before the auction ends.

Research Your Item

You will need an eBay account to check the status of completed auctions. eBay’s completed item section will show you the current prices Zu Zu Pets are being sold for. eBay’s completed item link is located on the left side of their page.

If you’re not a member yet… eBay registration is fast, easy… and FREE

When you’re ready…Place your ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM BID.

Once you’ve done your research and know which Zu Zu Hamster you’re interested in, and the price you are willing to pay…. Place your maximum bid in the last 22-7 seconds of the auction.

Side Note 1: eBay will only increase your bid just enough to outbid the highest bidder, and will never go higher than your maximum bid. In the event two people bid the same amount, the bidder who bid on the item first, takes precedence (this is called a Proxy Bid).

A Few Extra Cents Can Make You A Winner!

Inexperienced bidders usually place their bid in whole numbers. Experienced bidders usually place their bid a few cents over a whole number (or more). Experienced eBayers know a few cents is often enough of an edge to win... win... WIN. We have seen countless people who have won by only a few cents.

For example: Never bid an even $40.00…. bid $40.08 or $40.58.

Find your Zu Zu Pets… Look for potential Misspelled eBay Listings
(It Can Be a Great Way to Save Money)

Misspelled Zu Zu Pets listings can be the perfect opportunity to grab a hamster at a great price. This section of my article is a perfect example of what I am referring to. Notice that I have used the term Zu Zu Pets several times through out this article. I purposely misspelled Zu Zu Pets because I know people commonly misspell words. This can also be said for sellers that misspell words when creating their eBay listings. This is the perfect opportunity for you to buy an item which fewer people are bidding on. The correct spelling of Zu Zu Pets is Zhu Zhu Pets. There are several ways to spell Zu Zu Pets. We have created a blowOut link in our Authors Box near the bottom of this page. This link finds Zu Zu Pet misspelling and combines then into one simple search. This will give you a better chance to buy a Zu Zu Pet at a great price.

Ask the Seller Questions about the Condition of the Item

Make sure to use eBay’s message system, not your own email. By using eBay’s message system, eBay has a record of all correspondence between both parties. eBay is GREAT at protecting the buyer, as long as the buyer has everything in writing. Confirm the item pictured is the item you will receive. This is especially important if they are using a stock photo.

Before you buy a Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster, consider these tips from new Zhu Zhu Pets owners:

1. Get an extra set of AAA batteries. Or better yet, a set of rechargeable AAA batteries. You don't want your Zhu Zhu Pets hamster to run out of juice when you're just getting to know it do you?

2. These furry little friends zoom along pretty quickly: be sure to keep you and your child's hair, small fingers, shoelaces, etc. away from the motorized wheels that power these buggers to prevent entanglement and pinched skin.

3. If your child wants to sleep with his or her hamster, be sure to take the batteries out! The Zhu Zhu Pets aren't made to be sleeping buddies. But if your child must take it to bed with him/her, then removing the batteries will help to insure a safe, peaceful nights sleep for your child.

4. The hamsters were designed to be played with on smooth surfaces (hard floors, Zhu Zhu Pets play sets.) Putting them on soft surfaces like carpet may damage your hamster so try not to do it. Also keep them away from sand, dirt, water, and other outside elements.

5. Zhu Zhu Pets are made to be played with by humans; don't let your dog use them as a chew toy if you want to keep your hamster "alive" for awhile.

6. While the hamsters can handle bumping into things on their own, don't forcefully bump, throw, or crush them as some impacts may cause your hamster to stop working.

7. Be sure your child is ready for a Zhu Zhu Pet. The recommended age range is 4 and up for these cuddly guys.

Having difficulty finding Zhu Zhu Pets? Across the country shelves of local stores are without stock of the hot Zhu Zhu pets hamsters.

Forget Your Local Toy/Big Box Store: Unless you have "a friend" inside one of your local stores who's willing to pick up a few Zhu Zhu hamsters for you, you will probably face many back and forth trips to different stores in am attempt to get the Zhu Zhu pet(s) / play set of your choice. Not only that, but in the unlikely event you do find an Zhu Zhu hamster pet or accessory without any help, it may not be what you want, especially if it is one of the more popular Zhu Zhu Pets available.

If You Insist on Searching Through You Local Store: Call ahead and / or make friends with some of the people who run the store's toy department. Ask around and find out how often Zhu Zhu Pets shipments are likely appear, what day(s) they occur, and when the Zhu Zhu Pets are unpacked and placed on the sales floor. If you can get all of this information, then you may actually have a pretty good chance of finding the Zhu Zhu Pets you want. However, even getting the smallest bits of such information can be like pulling teeth; as most stores have a policy that forbids employees from releasing such valuable information out of fairness to other customers. If anything, you would be lucky to get any indication of when the next Zhu Zhu shipment might arrive, and how many days in advance you should plan to camp outside of the store waiting for them to arrive.

Shop Online: Unless you enjoy driving around all day looking for that one hamster your child really really wants, then it's time to check online for your hamster. At last count there were more than 1,000,000 web pages related to Zhu Zhu pets on the web. A good chunk of these sites sell Zhu Zhu Pets and accessories. This makes for an abundant supply available for purchase right at your fingertips. The only issue: finding the Zhu Zhu Pets you want, especially the Zhu Zhu hamsters, for anything less than 2x to 3x (or more) the retail price is currently very difficult. If a certain Zhu Zhu Pet is one of, if not the, toy your child "really really wants" this Christmas, you may have no choice but to pay a bit extra for that one special Zhu Zhu. Although it does not seem to be all that great an option at first, when you look at how much energy and time is wasted in your search through the local stores, a few extra dollars spent with an online merchant for the exact Zhu Zhu Pet your child wants is offset by the lost time and dollars that are saved by not having to go searching each and every store.

There you have it: Your best three options for finding that elusive Zhu Zhu pet and/or Zhu Zhu playset in time for Christmas. Time to get shopping (on-line!)
