bricketycricket Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 It was posted on redflagdeals yesterday, I don't have any inside connections or anything unfortunately. I was actually surprised it wasn't posted here as well at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherJB Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 have you ran the math??? This deal is better than triple VIP. For instance, I bought a bunch of tower bridges. DBL VIP $300 + tax = $339 and you get $30 in VIP + bonus worth maybe $15 = $294. I haven't sold even one xmas set priced at $20 TRP VIP $300 + tax = 339 and you get $45 in VIP = $294 maybe minus a set? 15% off direct. $300 - $45 = $255 + tax = $288 This was a rare event and doubtful will happen again soon. Too bad they removed a bunch of other sets, I would have loaded up even more. TB is not worth it. Surprised nobody loaded up the simpsons house. Do the math there and convert it to USD. i landed five. The xmas set is easily flippable for $20usd. After shipping and fees, its better with double VIP on the TB. Fyi, I'm a bit surprised nobody has been loading up tge simpsons house up north during double VIP. It's less than $189USD if you do your math correctly. Buy it, list it on ebay and ship it at blaine or pt roberts. I wish i got to stay longer in vancouver last month. Sold a couple to malaysia for $280USD plus $80 shipping. You guys got it good now with the strong USD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherJB Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You must have some magic math if you think TB is not worth it! Based on your belief, all sets is a good deal. Put that price up against buying from the US. Then do your magic math again buddy. The magic math I am using takes into account forex and price comparisons with the US. The simpsons house is 229CAD, 199USD. That in itself based on today's rate says the simpsons house is the deal. TB msrp is 299CAD, 239USD, still cheaper in the US. Slap a 15% off on the two sets and grade 1 math says simpsons house is a better buy with quicker flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said SH wasn't a good buy but you did say TB was not a good buy. $240 x 8% state tax = $259.20 US$ not counting the $5.95 storage cost for shipping. That is the equivalent of $290.30 CAD @ 1.12 exchange. Then 13% tax on top of that comes to $328.04. When did I ever say all sets is a good deal??

bricketycricket Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Received my sets today. They didn't put any padding in the box but luckily there wasn't any damage to the boxes. They did include a free sample of shampoo so uhhh...thanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Apparently if you microwave shampoo it turns to a plastic like substance, so maybe there is a relationship in there somewhere... if you look hard enough. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
