July 13, 2015 at 1:44 pm #12437ChristianKParticipantI know TRU is much better about matching prices, now. Will they price match AND give you the sale price?
July 13, 2015 at 1:57 pm #12441LauraParticipantI know TRU is much better about matching prices, now. Will they price match AND give you the sale price?
No, it’s either take the sale price or take the price match price.

Really? Cause, I remember hearing stories this past weekend about how good you are at bullying the ToysRUs employees into doing your bidding. I’m a little disappointed that you can’t make this happen for us.

I’m a teacher, I’m good at making people do my bidding. Bwahahahahhahaha!! But in this situation I don’t think it’d happen. 😛

July 13, 2015 at 2:47 pm #12445AliceParticipantIf you are an Amazon Prime member, they are having a huge sale on Wednesday (July 15th is Prime Day!) that is supposed to be better than Black Friday Sales. Not sure if Lego will be included, but I will keep my eyes open for deals.
July 13, 2015 at 8:13 pm #12449Nick ChenParticipantThere is a massive lego collection for sale on craigslist. No mention of price. Reasonable offers. Only things that are interesting are like haunted house, medieval market, farm stuff. A bunch of small sets. They are mostly broken down into parts.

July 15, 2015 at 11:51 pm #12471LauraParticipantTarget (as some of you know) is clearing out LEGO stock. I also found that Walmart has some nice deals. From what I saw, the more expensive sets seemed to be marked down ~$15, sets in the $20 price range were marked down about $5 and $30 sets were marked down about ~$10.

Walmart has LEGO movie sets for 25% off ex. double decker couch, constructo mech and cloud cuckoo land. Target is hit or miss – their stores are not in sync with each other.

Subject: My LEGO collection for saleMessage Body:
Greetings,
This is James Mathis, and I’ve posted my lifetime LEGO(R) collection for sale.
The collection includes over 600 sets, greater than 125,000 pieces, and spans years from the mid-1970s to 2006. I’m asking $17.5k. This value is 33% less than the prices as compared to other sellers’ offerings of similar individual sets in the collection. I thought that members of LEGO Clubs might consider a group purchase to share the cost of this bulk assortment should members see anything of interest in my collection. Most all of the sets since the late 1970s include the original paper building instructions booklets which have been stored in folders in plastic file folder storage bins.https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jamathis
All sets have been absorbed into my collection that is in storage. I have no access to the collection. It is in storage on a pallet in Portland, Oregon while I live on Maui. Actually, some of it is in Maui, mostly my MOCs of trains and vehicles, which I am also including in this bulk lot for sale so as to increase the completeness of all sets as advertised. Thus, I am unable to verify any details of completeness, except to say that I have monitored the inventory carefully over the time of ownership and MOC building. The 95% complete is an estimate which I think is conservative. In fact, I think most sets will be found to be near complete, if not 100% complete, but unfortunately, I can’t verify this. I certainly wish I could. I also can’t separate any sets into their constituent builds. All sets have been assimilated into the collective which is generally sorted by element shape and category. There are a few bins of unsorted parts as I did not have time to sort them when I put the collection in storage in 2007 when I moved to Maui.
Here are a few pictures of the bulk assortment and the included MOCs:
Thanks for checking this out.
Aloha,
James MathisNovember 16, 2015 at 10:27 pm #14203Matt RedfieldKeymasterWell, New Mexico Tech is a real school, fwiw…
November 22, 2015 at 5:16 pm #14250Matt RedfieldKeymasterFree #30286 Christmas Tree polybag @ Target with purchase of select sets over $25. Not a bad deal if you’re already planning to buy something. Especially if you have a RedCard and get the 5% discount (effectively canceling out the tax…)

You must be logged in to view attached files.September 15, 2016 at 9:23 pm #17912Greg SchubertParticipantThis deal involves a buyer who purchased an item from me but somehow set up his PayPal payment so that it was “not eligible for seller protection.” I sent the package to the person and I sent PayPal the tracking number. PayPal sent me an email explaining that the buyer claims that they did not place the order and not only were they going to get to keep the set but that PayPal issued a $20 chargeback fee to me. WTF?
Lesson learned: don’t accept payments that indicate that they are not eligible for seller protection.
September 15, 2016 at 9:26 pm #17913DanParticipantPennsylvania has a Long Arm statue for just such situations (assuming the buyer is out of state). You can take the matter to small claims court to help clean the scum from the system.
September 15, 2016 at 9:40 pm #17915Matt RedfieldKeymasterOuch. It’s tricky stuff, online transacting. Because it’s entirely possible that someone’s PayPal got hacked. Also entirely possible he’s just a shyster. Hopefully it wasn’t an expensive set… but yeah, might be worth fighting back. Or at least politely requesting that the (non)buyer send back your set, maybe even on your own dime if it’s worth it based on the cost of the set?
