Q. My LO is crawling around now and getting into everything. I figured he might be bored.
I have a few toys, but I wanted to get more, a lot more.
I've been to Toys R Us a few times and it's great. But my friend said for that I'm better off going to yard sales or thrift shops. Is this true?
If I wanted to buy from ebay what keyword would I use? I've done a few searches but nothing good comes up.

A. yep and try consignment shops. Why pay more when you can find the same things at great prices somewhere else. Unless you have a problem with used stuff...which some people do.
Don't do ebay High prices!!!

How to come up with a great sales pitch for a kid's toy?
Q. Tomorrow I'm going in for a group interview at Toys R Us. I've been doing a bit of research of what kinds of questions they'll ask during the interview. One thing they might potentially do is set you up in a group & tell you to sell a toy to the class. I want to be prepared as possible so what would be a great sales pitch, let's say for a toy plane?
A. Well. Younger children tend to not care about materials. If you can, throw numbers at them like "Maintains a charge for up to 2 hours!" Or something along those lines. Also if you move from fact to fact too quickly the kids will feel.... how do I say it.... intimidated? One, final thing. The older the children, the more advanced vocabulary. A 12 year old doesn't want to be talked to like a 6 year old. Get what I'm saying?
How much do these stores pay in Alaska?
Q. I was wondering how much you would get paid an hour as either a sales associate or cashier in Sears, Wal-mart, Target or Toys R Us in Alaska with 1 year retail/cashier experience? Thanks in advance.
A. It seems no one on here has ever heard of Google. Is it a college grad thing or what?

Why do they create a buzz for Bakugan toys and not make enough of them?
Q. Have two 5 year olds in my house who would be heart broken if they don't get this stupid toy. I spoke with a Toys R Us employee who said they are being bought by the cart full by ebayers who sell them at 3x the price. I guess that is a free market economy, but kids wind up getting hurt.
A. This is among the oldest tricks in the book by retailers. They deliberately understock the hottest toys during the Christmas season to ensure sales are up in January and February when the Christmas rush is over.
This is how it happens. They market the heck out of the hottest toy. Parents promise it to children�parents cannot get it as it goes out of stock quickly, but parents still have to buy their child a gift, and so retailers still get sales. Thus, after Christmas, suddenly availability is way up, and parents then go out and buy the gift that they not only promised to their kids, but that they also deem hard to get.
Trust me, it happens EVERY year. This is a known tactic in the retail sector, especially with toys. You just need to learn to teach your kids not to expect the hottest items right away. Its not always easy mind you, but it will save you frustration and from overpaying/buying more toys than you ordinarily would.
