Tickle me Elmo

Anyone remember tickle me Elmo? How hard it was to get, even if your kid didn’t want one you would grab one if available. Kind of like “ad called and offered me 116610, should I get it, already have 114060” threads.

Are SS now the equivalent to tickle me Elmo and turbo man from “jingle all the way”. Maybe this has caused some of hysteria when it comes to having a SS model offered. Daytona is the equivalent to winning the watch lottery. Bragging rights

When I was considering moving on from my DD I actually thought about getting a blro or Daytona, I realized that the only reason I wanted one was that they are hard to get, which is totally the wrong reason.

I say this as I wait for a sub I just paid well over retail for for the 3rd time but I finally think I found my direction home, buy back the few watches I had to sell when getting my company started, next up, the hulk aka turbo man

Anywhooo just bored waiting for fed ex

If I offered you a stainless Daytona at MSRP, would you buy it or pass?



Congrats on your business. If you're buying watches you once sold then your company must be doing well.

Congratulations on the incoming! I just bought a tickle me Elmo for a friends daughter. She loves the Elmo show. Funny how it’s more popular than the actual Sesame Street now.

I was 16 when that was the hot toy for the holidays, I knew what of the kids who worked there, even though the workers told every parent who asked for them that they didnt have any, there was a FULL pallet of them in the back, he gave me one which I gave to my little sister.
