My other favorite similar story... During the more recent "Tickle Me Elmo" craze, my niece was very young, if she was even a year, it was barely. Mom won a Tickle Me Elmo during a drawing or on a radio show call-in or something like that at the height of the craze, where you could not find any anywere in the Continental United States on the store shelves. It was something she really wanted for my niece, but we discussed it. My niece would probably be frightened by Elmo, with our luck, and she had no concept of Christmas at that time. Mom put him up for auction on EBAY and got in the neighborhood $100 to $150 for him. A nice tidy amount to help her at Christmas time. She then picked up Elmo for my niece a few short days after Christmas when every store in town had him and nobody cared. LOL...
