Where to buy a Tamagotchi?
September 12, 2013 6:14 PM   Subscribe

Looking for a tamagotchi. My searches on eBay and amazon reveal that they are typically 30+ dollars. Surely there must be cheaper places to buy these things?

Bonus points for letting me know which tamagotchi to get? It's for a 7 year old girl.

Aliexpress.com. It might take awhile to get here, though, as it will typically be sent from China.

Maybe not what you're looking for, but if you have an old Android device you're not using, you can install the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. app on it.

You may not find anything cheaper, unless you luck out at a yard sale/thrift store/hipster knickknack shop (all of which are worth trying)! As my memory serves me, they were worth around that much when they first came out, and were cheaply made/broke easily. Based on that, I would suggest that $30 with home delivery is not so bad.

Post a request on freecycle; maybe someone will have one lying about.
