Cyber Tuesday Online Deals — Cyber Monday which is known as the day of huge discounts turned out to be the day of huge premium prices for Zhu Zhu Pets.
As we know that Black Friday brings lower prices to boost the sales for shopping malls but the iconic Black Friday brought high prices for Zhu Zhu toys due to its enhanced demand throughout the U.S. Cyber Monday is an other familiar term used in this context which means the very next Monday following the Black Friday.
Toy Hamsters or Zhu Zhu Pets are so popular these days that they have made huge and famous stores out of stock. The enhanced demand has distressed many parents who want to buy these toys at any cost and this very behavior of customers has led to highly disorganized struggle by them. But the retailers are not selling them at their normal retail price and they are charging many times greater than the original retail price.
Toy experts are suggesting eager buyers to wait until new and abundant supply fills the store shelves. They are advising not to buy a $10 toy at $50 or more and wait for the right time. They say if their child demanding the toy badly, then they should buy them online. “If you absolutely go to have this “Zhu Zhu Pets” toy and nothing else, buy it on eBay” writes Sean McGowan, a senior analyst at Needham & Co. in New York. But if parents want to take a logical decision, they should wait for the fresh supply.
By the way, Cyber Tuesday, is an extension of the Cyber Monday online deals.

You’re right about people having trouble finding Zhu Zhu Pets… especially for the low retail price.
I found a very helpful site called Hot A-Z Alert which notifies you when the hottest holiday items and deals are back in stock at the lowest price. It checks Amazons inventory multiple times every minute and sounds an alarm when the item is available.

How to Get Zhu Zhu Pets & Other Hard to Find Items at Best Price
During the Holidays hot items like the Zhu Zhu Pets often go temporarily out-of-stock at the major suppliers like Amazon and ToysRUs. When that happens the resellers have a field day charging five times or more over the usual retail price. Many people don’t realize that resellers are allowed to sell on Amazon, so when a Zhu Zhu is out of Amazon inventory (normally a bit less than $10), the browsing customer sees the item listed at $50 or $60 or more from a reseller.
To get an out of stock item at the regular, much lower, retail price, I found a
website service (free) that is a great help. The site continually monitors the Amazon inventory status and sounds an alarm from your browser window within seconds of a watched item coming back into stock. You don’t have to be sitting at your computer to hear the alarm and you can save your watched items list so they are immediately available the next time you visit the site. When the alarm goes off, the exact product page opens, and you can jump in and place your order very fast …. and at the low retail price.
