As a newcomer to the Puppy In My Pocket market, what is a good or even reasonable price for individual puppies? Perusing ebay and etsy, the prices vary a lot. Is it ridiculous to pay $20 for 2 puppies? I don't want to pay an exorbitant amount, but I also don't want to miss out on something I'm looking for by waiting to see if its listed for cheaper later on. Is it better to buy lots rather than go for individuals? I have just been hesitant on going for lots, as I'm really only looking for a few puppies right now, and I don't know when or even if I want to expand my collecting beyond that. So lot prices, even though they are technically cheaper per puppy, have been putting me off because they are kind of out of my budget at the moment. Also, a lot of listings are from the UK, and the shipping to the US is crazy expensive right now (maybe because of the postal strike over there?).
Thoughts? Advice? Any insight from veteran collectors is appreciated!

Ebay prices have been ridiculous lately. Most are not that rare, and are not worth the $10 per figure price tag. Let me know what you're looking for, and I can tell you if they're rare or not. And I'm in the US too, so if I have any, I'd be happy to sell! I usually sell mine for $1.25 each.

Thanks for the advice and the offer! I'm pretty sure most of the puppies I'm actively shopping for right now aren't that rare, as I see them all over ebay and etsy, but never for a good price. :/ Here they are:
#14 Dusty - 1993 M.I.LTD - Dark red I think?
#22 Rook
#24 Sugar
#24a Meggie
#26 Viper
#27 Gamenet (seems like the rarest one on my list)
#41 Drac - non-sparkly pink pillow
#42 Ricochet - black and tan
#45 Destro - tan/black matte
I wonder what the cause of the uptick in price is?

I would think the uptake in price is due to alot of 90s toys coming back into fashion

For sure! Makes it hard for us people who want to collect and also don't forget the scalpers who don't make it any easier

Dang scalpers. And every time I think I find a decent price, it's always from the UK and the shipping is like $30. T_T

One of the TINY! Perks of living in the UK and even then it's slim pickings especially with animal hospital mum's/babies!
