I do pretty well out of the Amazon Associate scheme. Right now, in the run up to Christmas, it's especially good.

It would be great if you knew what the best selling toy was going to be every year. Apart from making a lot of money you would be an absolute hero with your kids, nieces, nephews etc.

I got it right about fifteen years ago. I bought my son - who was about six months old at the time - a Buzz Lightyear action figure in September. They were sold out by mid November and people were selling them for about ten times the ticket price. I was tempted - but in the end he got his Buzz. It's up in the attic now and probably worth less than a tin of Pepsi.

Anyway - I'm making a prediction that this years big seller will be Zhu Zhu Pets. They are currently taking up about eight out of the top ten slots in Amazon's "Toys and Games " bestsellers list and it looks like they'll start to get scarce soon.

Make hay while the sun shines.
