bricketycricket Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Wow, FB and TH. Too bad the gains are offset by buying 2 KJ at full price. 1 Quote
gravtation Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Wow, FB and TH. Too bad the gains are offset by buying 2 KJ at full price. Yeah KJ was good .. with a small deception . full price .. but still this is a Splendid set .. and will do well in a nearby future Edited January 27, 2015 by gravtation Quote
Elkkthunder Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 How did they know you wanted these? Quote
lobo1969 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Was this a local store calling you or was it TRU.ca? Quote
jaisonline Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 this can only happen in Canada or parts of Europe. Never in America. 2 Quote
Val-E Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Wow you are like me last week. Another crazy uncle in the stock control dept. How come all these shops have so little control over their warehouse inventory? Quote
ISO8T0 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 indeed nice score. This confirms that Canadians ARE behind the times. Quote
bigreen Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Congrats! Btw is this really TRU.ca? I think the only thing they can do is first mark the price up and then discount on that price to make a sale. Quote
Sandwraith Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Wow.... nice score! The other 2 aren't too surprising to be found laying around in a warehouse, but a FB!? Quote
gravtation Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 Yes TRU store in Montreal.. left my name an #phone number 3-4 monts ago ... what else could I Say .. simply love the fact that a Manager took personaly good care of a customer..;) Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Well deserved, gravtation. I may not expect to have such luck happen to me but still and always I am keeping the faith. this can only happen in Canada or parts of Europe. Never in America.You'd be surprised how well treating store employees like actual people can go. 1 Quote
jaisonline Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 You'd be surprised how well treating store employees like actual people can go. you are 100% correct. it's just from my experience the avg Canadian retail employee is nicer than an American one. eh ? Quote
gregpj Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 you are 100% correct. it's just from my experience the avg Canadian retail employee is nicer than an American one. eh ? Maybe on average, but I've had some real wankers. I found five FB a month after retirement at a local TRU. Not sure why they had them but normally those aren't sold in stores. I suspect those grav bought were returns just sitting in the back and they didn't know what to do with them. Maybe now TRU will finally take down their FB listing on the website! Quote

Part luck, knowing people, and having people being nice. 1 Quote

banshee3 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 all I read was keep polishing those horseshoes and goddang 15% taxes. It's like a bad dream I used to live in. 13% is bad enough. 1 Quote

Ask them if there's a survey or something else you can do to help them out in return. 1 Quote
herpderp Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Wow nice haul. Don't have good experience with TRU.ca myself. Last time I brought LEGO there they sent me a damaged box all taped up. Quote
