Iluvatar is searching for Waddle. Please help

[Iluvatar]

While I was in Greece this summer, my backpack was stolen along with everything it contained including my favorite Beany Baby Waddle the Penguin. I am now desperately looking for another Waddle but they do not sell these in my country. I know this may sound childish but Waddle was the only stuffed animal I was really attached to. Waddle was given to me 8 years ago and losing him was very hard for me and still is. I ask help from anyone that knows where I can get a Waddle the Penguin Beanie Baby, who collects Beanie Babies or even knows someone who collects Beanie Babies.

OOOOOOOH
Iluvatar is very angry now
How dare you acuse me of such a crime Smokey (Heehee)

Now on a more serious note. I have the feeling that it will be somewhat difficult to get another Waddle. The one on Violet High's link is being auctioned and I don't know how to participte. I tried to contact the guy who is selling but I can reach him.

By the way, it seems that I will not be able to replace my other penguin. They do not make that item anymore. (Sniff)

Well, definitely keep checking Ebay. However if they stopped making him - Im afraid that the price will be quite steep. May be u can try finding something that resembles him...

[Scellanis]

Actually, the link posted isn't an auction.....

what you would have to do is register with the website, then you can make an offer on the item and hope that the person accepts...

but you will need to be able to use one of these payment methods: METHODS ACCEPTED: Personal Check, Money Order, Visa, PayPal, MasterCard
International Bidders: Payment must be in US currency.

well anyway...

How can I buy an item?
In general, you can buy an item either (1) at the Buy It price (if the seller has listed one) or (2) by negotiating with the seller.


(back to top)

How does the negotiation process work?
Once you have found an item you want, you can make the seller an offer by filling out the simple form at the bottom of the item’s page. We will notify the seller about your offer via email. The seller can (1) accept your offer, (2) make you a counter-offer or (3) decline your offer.

If the seller accepts the your offer, the deal is closed and the item is yours! Keep in mind that you are now legally obligated to buy the item from the seller at the price you offered.



If the seller makes you a counter-offer, you will be notified and now you can (1) accept the seller’s offer, (2) make the seller a counter-offer or (3) decline the seller’s offer. Keep in mind that you will be legally obligated to buy the item at the counter-offer price if it is accepted by the seller.



Of course you can always decline the seller’s counter-offer and end the negotiations.

that looks quite a good system....I haven't seen the website before but it looks similar to the market place on amazon and I have used that and it was very good....

that seller looks reasonable too....if you look below the box of details about payment and shipping it mentions:
BID WITH CONFIDENCE
Read my policies on my SquareTrade Seal

Oh well, up to you whether you buy or not.....
