(...) Considering that this is only the third week that we have gotten specials in Canada, and they seem to only have two sets available at any one time, I think we Canucks can still be jealous of S@H US. I figure S@H Canada is still working the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) What actually happens is that the scalper saves his receipt and if he can't sell for a profit, they will just return the item to the original store (from my experience of the rec.toys.scalper - i mean .misc group). (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I just got back from Boscov's, a Philadelphia area mall department store. They are having a 20% off sale. The sale includes all Legos/Duplos. The store I went to did have the 1999 Space Center sets too. But no Star Wars. I don't know how long the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) It's my suspicion that S@H Canada is doing two things: 1: testing the weekly special for feasability, and 2: dumping warehouse overstock. I wouldn't be too surprised if they have a list of x items they want to get rid of, and when that list is (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) It seems like there aren't as many sets on special each week, and more of the specials are 25% discount instead of 50%. (...) As a buyer, it doesn't matter. But it *should* matter to the seller. If it turns out that large-volume buyers are (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Mark, OK, I apologize about those posts, I read over them and was surprised at my responses, but I was at work for a total of 32 hours at the time, and was rather tired. I was really excited about seeing them, and I bought them. I apologize if you (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, they certainly seem week, but I wonder how much of that is due to the fact that most of the sets they have to clear out are weak? I bought a ton of 6078 Royal Drawbridges last year, in addition to a ton of 6046 Hemlock Strongholds. I (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
