9 Tips For Finding Those Hard To Find Toys
Just because you may not see a toy on the shelf in a store, doesn’t mean it is out of stock. Use these nine tips to find even the toys that are the most difficult to get your hands on.
1. Communicate with your local stores to learn stocking patterns
2. Talk with store stockers just to learn how they run their store
3. Store employees are more likely to talk with collectors than dealers - I don’t recommend lying… but, I would be careful of the wording. They will figure out that you are a dealer/reseller when you visit buying the same things over and over.
4. Talk with customer service folks - Don’t assume all employees have the same level of information. Sometimes they have information the stockers don’t have. Where a stocker may not know when they are getting a shipment of a specific toy, the customer service folks may be able to tell you.
5. Avoid the big stores - check out drug stores, grocery stores - even smaller online toy stores.
6. Visit grocery stores/drug stores in less affluent areas.
7. Visit Out of the way cities.
8. Look behind other toys on the shelves.
9. Look under shelves in hidden storage areas - and places employees would hide toys.
