0:01:07 > 0:01:10Somewhere in the ancient ruins of Egypt,

0:01:10 > 0:01:14lies a horde buried deep beneath the desert sands.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18An unnatural force, bent on destruction,

0:01:18 > 0:01:21not dead, not alive and nothing can stop them.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25MOOING

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Waa-aa-aa-aah!

0:01:27 > 0:01:31The new video game from the makers of Extreme Gamma Cube -

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Dark Bunny, Revenge Of The Moomies.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38It's milking time!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Cool! I've gotta have that.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Hey!

0:01:49 > 0:01:54- How are you gonna afford it? - I could ask my parents for it.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56They'll say if I really want it,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58I have to buy it with my own money.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00THEY SIGH

0:02:00 > 0:02:04If I bought everything I wanted, I'd have to have so many jobs,

0:02:04 > 0:02:09- I'd have no time to play with what I'd bought.- Just like grown-ups.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Hey, I know how you can buy that game! Come on...

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Just like I figured, you are sitting on a gold mine.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21I don't get it, it's a bunch of junk.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Ssh! Not junk, merchandise.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32You can sell this stuff on the school newspaper's website.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35They've got a section for online ads.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Hey, I remember these.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40You write a description of what you want to sell,

0:02:40 > 0:02:43set up a contact box and submit it.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46But who'll want this old stuff?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49You'd be surprised. Some people will buy anything.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52HE MAKES AIRPLANE NOISES

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- How much do you want for it? - This is gonna be easy!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Nice job, honey.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29What'ya doing?

0:03:29 > 0:03:34Writing an ad. I'm selling my old toys in the school's online paper.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Pee-yew. I hope whoever buys this stuff likes stinky toys.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Hey!- DW...

0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK, OK, but that hippo needs a bath.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49For sale, lots of old toys -

0:03:49 > 0:03:54if interested, e-mail ToyGuy22.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04COMPUTER: 'ToyGuy22, you have no mail.'

0:04:04 > 0:04:06HE SIGHS

0:04:08 > 0:04:12'ToyGuy22, you have no mail.'

0:04:17 > 0:04:18'No mail.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20'No mail.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22'No mail... No mail.'

0:04:22 > 0:04:26I don't get it, why isn't anything selling?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30I'll tell you why. There's no oomph.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33You don't sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35I told you Muffy would be able to help.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- But I'm selling toys.- Exactly.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41For sale, lots of old toys...

0:04:41 > 0:04:46Ho-hum, you'll never make a sale with that pitch.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50- I thought it was OK. - "OK" doesn't move merchandise.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52You need SPECTACULAR!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Who's your market?

0:04:54 > 0:04:58- What about product branding? Where's the eye candy?- Eye candy?

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Boy, do I have my work cut out!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07A picture is worth 100 words.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09You mean a thousand.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Nah, this camera only has three megapixels.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13CLICKING

0:05:16 > 0:05:18BEEPING

0:05:18 > 0:05:23Layout is important. An ad must be easy to read with bright colours

0:05:23 > 0:05:25that grab the buyer's attention.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Now, description - adjectives are key, but you can't say just anything.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37You need to know the lingo.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41You don't say old, you say retro.

0:05:41 > 0:05:46You don't say banged-up, you say well-loved.

0:05:47 > 0:05:53If something's a total wreck, you say needs "TLC" or "handyman special".

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Wow! You made all that in one day?!

0:06:12 > 0:06:14I sold just about everything.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Even the Woogle.- Yeah, they needed it to complete their set.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20They paid you money for it?!

0:06:20 > 0:06:25I've got merchandise that's not moving but I need the right hook.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30OK, no more Mr Nice Guy, it's time to pull out the aggressive tactics -

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- celebrity endorsement.- Huh?!

0:06:35 > 0:06:41- Celebrity endorsements?- You think Bionic Bunny really loves doodles?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42He's paid to say that!

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Don't tell Buster, it'd crush him!

0:06:44 > 0:06:47So, who do you know who's famous?

0:06:47 > 0:06:53- Uh...Beauregard Poulet?- He might work if you're selling chickens!

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Come on, we need someone really famous.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's it, I don't know anyone else.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Oh...OK, let's move onto rave.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06That's drumming up business in chat rooms or

0:07:06 > 0:07:10by talking on the phone where people can overhear you about a product,

0:07:10 > 0:07:14saying how great it is, blah, blah.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17I'd do it for you, but you can't afford my fee.

0:07:17 > 0:07:22Hey, I thought you'd like to know where you can get some cool toys.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26ToyGuy22 is selling stuff you can't get anywhere else

0:07:26 > 0:07:28and the prices are super cheap.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Why are you yelling about yourself?

0:07:34 > 0:07:35WOOF WOOF!

0:07:35 > 0:07:39These toys aren't selling. I'm not any good at raves.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42I can't afford to hire Muffy to do them.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47Eugh, DW is right. It is kind of smelly.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Hm...

0:07:49 > 0:07:54Stuffed hippo for sale, smells just like the real thing.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00WHINING

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- WOOF! - I can't say it's broken...

0:08:03 > 0:08:05No-one would buy that.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Wait, I know! Robotron for sale,

0:08:08 > 0:08:11perfect for display.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13I've got it...

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Toy soldiers for sale, new, larger size. What a bargain.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Larger size?! You just put it in a bigger box!

0:08:25 > 0:08:29DW, you just don't understand marketing.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Maybe - but I sure know what lying sounds like.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's not lying, it's advertising!

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Wow! This is so cool.

0:08:41 > 0:08:46Well, that's the last of your inventory.

0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Congratulations.- Wahoo! I've got enough money for Moomies.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55You must be the world's greatest salesman. How did you get James

0:08:55 > 0:09:00to buy a Robotron that loses its arms and legs when you move it?

0:09:00 > 0:09:05Well, I left that part out of my ad. I said it was for display purposes.

0:09:08 > 0:09:14- Hey, Arthur, there's something wrong with this Robotron.- Yeah.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18Arthur just forgot to mention it. He'll give you your money back.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Right, Arthur?

0:09:19 > 0:09:24Technically, Arthur, you're under no obligation to return any funds.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28As long as Arthur didn't lie, James doesn't have a leg to stand on.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Neither does his Robotron.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33You'll give him his money back, right?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Let the buyer beware, I always say.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- HE GASPS - Arthur, you can't do that.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47I said "display purposes".

0:09:47 > 0:09:52Think how we felt when we got a toy that wasn't what we thought it'd be.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Like those Sea Squirrels, remember?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00That doesn't look like a squirrel.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03It looks like something my baby sister spit up.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07But it's not like I said... "action figure" or something.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I said "for display purposes".

0:10:10 > 0:10:14It's bad enough when grown-ups cheat kids, but when kids do it,

0:10:14 > 0:10:18it's like a total meltdown of the fabric of our society.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21And who needs melty fabric.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25Don't worry, James, I'm good at fixing broken toys.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I've broken tons of them.- Thanks.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35Your ad could be seen as misleading, at most it's a misdemeanour.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- The worst you'll get is house arrest. - House arrest?!

0:10:46 > 0:10:50Wait, I just wanna look at something. I'll be right back.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Good one, James. Good aim.

0:10:58 > 0:11:04- Couldn't fix it, huh?- No.- But Buster thought up a good game to play.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06It's called Robotron arm toss.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10- You try to get his arm to shoot off and hit the bull's-eye.- Cool.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13So, did you get your Moomie game?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Nope, I got something even better.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Here you go, James. I'm sorry about everything.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Thanks, Arthur.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26What about the Moomies?

0:11:26 > 0:11:28We'll get to play it some day.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I just had to see what all the fuss was about.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37'Who dares approach the tomb?'

0:11:37 > 0:11:38ALL: We do!

0:11:38 > 0:11:44'You've been warned! Prepare to meet your Moomie.'

0:11:48 > 0:11:51That's it?! That's all you get for 35.95?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55Phew, the Sea Squirrels were better than this.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Well, if you ever need someone to sell it for you, don't call me.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04'Game over. Game over. Game...'
