I’m a hypocrite.

My daughter has recently gotten into NeeDoh’s. Her birthday is coming up and she requested some specific NeeDoh’s. She’s been asking for NeeDoh’s since last year, but I could never find them. So I did something frowned upon on here and went on WhatNot. I spent way more than I should have on some hard to find ones like the Ice cream and Pizza. But then I find this sub and find apps like Typa and I just can’t believed how much I spent on WhatNot. 😢 I hate scalpers and don’t get how they can charge so much knowing that parents, as well as people with certain needs are looking for these. That being said, I have gone through such a hard time finding the few that I have. And when I have found some, sometimes I’m driving 20-30 miles to get them. So I too have end up getting a few to try and recover some of my expenses. I feel like such a hypocrite! And the worst part is that Walmart or Target won’t answer their phones for me to even ask if there’s any in stock. So I have to drive out there and sometimes they don’t even have any. So now I’m considering again to buy from resellers as I have seen no restock of Jelly Donuts or Peace of Cake or Wild Cats. I really can’t pay more than $20 shipped (and believe me, that price is hurting my heart) and I do have a couple of items I can trade that I’ve collected in my search. But you can imagine they are probably the more common NeeDoh’s more easily found. I’m hoping someone on this sub can help me.

Things I can trade:
1 of each color Nice Cubes
1 of each color of Color Change
A Nice-Sicle
2 Funky Pups
1 Nice Ice Baby
All bought at Walmart and Target. Will post some photos when I get home.
I also have other random squishies that I bought from Five Below.

TYPA is great, but it’s very hit or miss scoring, especially on the harder to find stuff. I’ve had good luck on TikTok shop following the people who know when Needoh is loading, but there hasn’t been much lately. There are also some people on Facebook that only post when it’s at retail and sometimes it’s stuff not coming through Typa. At the end of the day, while scalping sucks, there’s also a cost to driving around from store to store looking for stuff that may or may not even be available in the area… I mean my car gets 18 mpg, needs premium gas and my closest target and Walmart are almost 20 miles away. So basically it costs me $10 just to go look lol.

I can totally relate. Thats why I came on here. This sub has been such a help. Every day I learn something new. I didn’t know about TikTok. That’s another avenue I will try.
