How to Find the Hottest Toys for Christmas

Do you want to know what the hottest Christmas toy will be this year? Do you have a son or daughter? Are there kids in your neighborhood? If so, you have all the necessary resources to find the hottest toys for Christmas.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. 
   Bakugan - Preyas

   Ask your son or daughter - What toys do your children play with? Do they play with some more than others? What are they asking for? If your son likes it, most likely so will every other boy his age.

2. 
   Bakugan - Skyress

   Monitor completed auctions on eBay - You can really put your finger on the pulse of the toy market if you pay attention to eBay sales. Log into your account and then search completed auctions for the past few weeks. Make note of any toy that appears to sell for more than retail cost.

3. 
   Bakugan - Fear Reaper

   Watch cartoons - For almost every cartoon on TV, I can almost guarantee that the toy manufacturers are making a toy based upon it. If you are trying to find the hottest toys for Christmas, turn off the news and turn on the cartoons.

Tips & Warnings

• Once you find the hottest toys for Christmas, why not try and sell them on eBay. You can make a lot of money selling these toys to the parents of the kids who want them.
• Always research your market first! You do not want to be stuck with a bunch of toys no one wants.

Resources

• Buy Toys from Hasbro
• Buy Star Wars Toys
• Buy Bakugan Toys
