akohns Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Is this a scam? Why are there so many of these things? Can they also do it with the Funhouse escape? There have been similar deals but nothing that brought them down to 50% off like this. It's really more of a mistake/loophole/glitch that is allowing the $25 off $100 which is supposed to only be on regular priced items.

supraboy888 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 so are you guys getting 12 or is 8 a good number. I think 8 is good Geebus.....should I get 4 more? While I'm talking, you guys are loading up. This is an extreme fire sale according to Canadian pricing. The question is how many I can dump into Canada? Will there be enough buyers?

I use that money to buy sets for investment .. win win I'm doing the same thing. Flip enough of these sets, then use the profits to buy investment sets, rinse and repeat. I'm just wondering whether TRU will actually deliver the goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i add more it says either it's unavailable or something like that. But the listing is still active and it keeps showing more is sold.

TRU has set a limit of 4 per person which is probably why they have this one listing going on and on. Probably figured out people were using the multiple listings to get around the limit.

TRU has to deliver as promised and money back guaranteed, win-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akohns Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I've got to believe TRU is dumping this set because it sold poorly at their outrageous price. Too bad no one told them the scene is from the movie that came out last week. Oops! I think there is plenty of money to be made on this set in the future. Even with all of these being sold it's just so few in comparison to other sets, like Weathertop that are still rotting in retail settings after being EOL for 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akohns Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 No, just enter buy it now for 4 per purchase. That's what I did. That's what I'm doing, but no go. No worries, I'm ok with 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means your buyers will be chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
