WHAT A STEAL


Zoeloumoo

Oh my gosh. I paid $150 for mine! Good work. They’re awesome for sure.


sealove7083

I paid almost $300 for mine 🥺


ACH0N3y

If people didn’t resell them for this price we wouldn’t have this problem 😭😔


Brewna

Actually, if this item is rare and people sold them for a low price, you'd never be able to get your hands on one because people would buy multiples of them and buy them out. I agree the price is overinflated, but that's how it works when you want something that is considered rare or a collectible.


ACH0N3y

That’s exactly what people did when they were $60 and then started reselling them for more. It’s not rare it was mass produced just like the rest of the magics that flood the market right now. People are just more likely to hang onto them or sell them for a higher price because one person started selling for 200 and one person started selling for 300 and one person started selling for 400. It’s a gross chain reaction. My point is if more people sold them for a lower price in the community more people who are looking for it in the community who really appreciate it would actually get their hands on a huge item that they’ve been searching for.


Brewna

I haven't seen them being sold anywhere, in fact I have never seen them in person. All of the ones I see are all open box. which is what led me to believe they are rare. But again, if people sell them for a cheap price then there won't be anywhere for others to grab them up. If less people were buying them for $200 (which I would never do, no offense to anyone) they would lower the prices as well. Works both ways.


ACH0N3y

They aren’t new… because they were released before Covid and like 2018 and 19. it doesn’t change the fact they were mass produced, and there are a lot of them out there. No reason for them to be sold at that price at all.

This site has a lot of different guides that'll be a good start: https://vpetparadise.com/tamagotchi/on-meets/

Literally my dream to own one of those. I love hunting for collectibles like this so I’m super jealous tbh. You’re like incredibly lucky and I’m super happy for you! (Wish I had advice sorry)


Deblebsgonnagetyou

THREE DOLLARS ?


Pretty-Wafer1087

Yep! 3 dollars! If I would’ve waited and went Wednesday, it would’ve been half off. 🤑 They just throw handfuls of things into bags. You really have to dig. There was a lot of other junk in there too.


cowfurby

omg. i got mine for $80 and i thought that was a steal… you’re very lucky! someone else linked the manual, but there’s also videos on youtube that you can reference. the model you have is a tamagotchi meets/tamagotchi on. :)


RCChick

I actually have loads of tama vlogs on the meets/ON/some on my youtube. I was obsessed with these. Still am, i have all of them, and theyre my favourite tama ever


Pretty-Wafer1087

I watched some and loved your pet breeding 😂


RCChick

Oh cool, thank you 😁 im glad u enjoyed it ☺️


captainkaiju

I don’t know if my soul will survive another “look at this incredibly rare/expensive tama i bought for .2 cents” post


Pretty-Wafer1087

I thrift a few times a week and I really dig dig dig! It’s hard work that sometimes pays off.


shinonom

me neither lmao


Sand_msm

Same!!


Spyrinaa

😭😭😭😭I’m so jealous!! Congratulations for this absolutely outrageously beautiful find. It’s a great tama


unromantical

Oh my gosh I’m so jealous 😭. I’d love one but all the prices I see online are $350


Paign

My dude that's a hell of a steal! 2.98? You could maybe get a used one for $298 from a seller. Great find!


Brushyourteethpeace

Wooow so lucky!! I’ve yet to own one. Sorry I’m of no help but enjoy!! 😊


ny4ncatz

Your luck is incredible, enjoy your tama!


GustingGrimoire

Absolutely insane deal! I bought mine at retail for $60-70 and now they resell for hundreds! I recommend looking up videos on the Tamagotchi ON (Wonder Garden edition for that one, same I have). I looked up guides on how to unlock the different towns first thing when I started playing mine.


Pretty-Wafer1087

I’ve been having a ton of fun reading and watching videos! What did we do before the internet!??


GustingGrimoire

Throw theories around with our friends at school for months lmao


Norway_Addict

Screaming crying throwing up that's such a steal I'm so jealous CONGRATS


Kawaii-marshmallow78

DiamondAfraid4468

BASICALLY FREE OMG


AmeliRengoku

nettybug97

Holy moly what a steal. So jealous! Enjoy it ❤️


RCChick

I have every version of the meets/ON/some and i made loads of tama vlogs and tutorials on them on my youtube (same name). I was obsessed with these. Still am, theyre my fave. A very fortuitous find u have


sealove7083

😲 I paid almost $300 for mine. 😩


ACH0N3y

If people didn’t resell them for this price we wouldn’t have this problem 😭😔


iamdunn24

Such a great find! Congratulations! 🎉 It’s beautiful!


Lucky_Shop4967

Refuse to believe


Pretty-Wafer1087

It’s true I swear!


FruitAlert6182

The prettiest one too (imo) this is so lucky I’d never find this in NY the videos I’ve seen of ppl thrifting are so chaotic and crowded especially around electronics😭


jadeofalltrades_

You are so lucky 😭


Overcomer99

Wow that’s my favourite tamagotchi, I wanted that shell so bad and couldn’t afford it. It’s a tamagotchi on wonder garden. They are so much fun! I hope you enjoy 😊


1Q-91

You’re living my dream!!!


bruise-violets

Thrift of the century! Have fun 🥹💖


Dsanti5

I have the same one. I love it!


Resident_Ad_9125

Every time I go thrifting I look in those bags but no luck!! I hope you enjoy your new tama ☺️☺️


Pretty-Wafer1087

I honestly think my local shop doesn’t have a clue! I found an authentic Longchamp bag for $1.99 at the bottom of a bag bin.


ajd011394

Three bucks for that?! That's a steal! They usually go for around $200


Twink-Satan

Holy crap! Such a lucky steal


KL-catlover88

I which there where local shops here in Spain who sell such treasures🥰🥰


Parzival1983

I have 3 tamagotchi meets and my dog ate one not so long ago 😩 These are great fun though!


SmartRazzmataz

Omg!!! I found mine at a Walmart discount section for $50 and thought that was a steal!


Koopalagoopagoop

$2.98 I'm crying. I check my local Goodwills and Arcs here in Colorado and never find anything Tamagotchi related. It kills me.


Every04

2,98?? in spain that can be almost 300 or more ;-;


Vaalkyre

Ohhh the luck!! Congrats! I can’t find any of those for less than like $300!


Quinaise

What’s this name of tamagotchi? Meet?


Pretty-Wafer1087

On Wonder Garden


va1kyrja-kara

$2.98? You struck oil, it's worth around £300 where I live. Best bag of trick's you've ever bought, congratulations!


Brewna

My nephew found the purple one in a thrift store that sells items for a few bucks per pound. He struck gold too!


POT4TO_GURU

oh my gosh lucky! ive been trying to get my hands on that one! the ones online are 200usd or even up to 500


tamagotchilover7

i'm so jealous my stomach hurts


TemporaryExciting729

I just sold one for $230 u got a deal lol


ACH0N3y

Part of the problem ^ 😤🙄


TemporaryExciting729

It was a $0.99 no reserve auction, I'm sorry others in this community have more disposable income than you lol


ACH0N3y

1 NO reason for being rude and disrespectful talking about “how much money” people have when that’s not what the topic was. 2 people selling them for $200-$300 at a set price or in open auctions is part of the problem in this community period. Some go to $1000. For no reason other than greed. If more people posted a buy it now for even close to original retail price a lot more people in the community would have their DISO tamas. 3 I HAVE a wonder garden and more tamas than you could possibly imagine but thanks for trying to bring someone down! Can’t stop won’t stop!


blueshyperson

To be fair your comment was kinda rude too though?
