Find of the day in Canada

[dah_hunter]

LoL. New is the key word here.. Hello bulk used stuff..  let the sorting continue..

Edsal racks on sale at lowes again, this time 99 each for 48x24x72.

Sears Canada's website is amazing! (sarcasm)

I placed a few orders of 2x 42039, with the $50 off $200 code. Each time, the final order confirmation page, after payment, tells me that my order has been placed, for a total of $236.88, but also somehow that the item is out of stock. I then receive a bunch of order confirmation emails with a total of $0.00.

Are we supposed to place actual orders that turn out empty to figure out if something is out of stock? Argh...

Was looking on Kijiji and scored three fully built sets, almost brand new, with mint boxes and instructions. Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle, Poe's X-Wing, and the T. Shuttle. All complete with all mini figs for $220 vs. would have been over $400 at retail.

Got the avengers AOU quinjet on Kijiji for $40

I got 75101 (First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter) and 75102 (Poe's X-Wing Fighter) NISB for $150 on Kijiji.

Not sure this is "find of the day" quality, but this seemed the most appropriate thread since it's a one off deal I came across that I thought was too awesome not to share.

Found a guy on CL with a used 100% displayed only (what else are you going to do with it I guess..) Tower Bridge. These suckers are in the expensive tier of sets, and I've only got 1 for down the road.... I'd love to build it, but can't justify shelling out another $335 for the experience. He had it listed up as $250 or Trade for similar value set.

His request list was Ferris Wheel, Kwik E Mart, or Brick Bank. I have none of these in my investment collection as of yet, so I proposed the idea that I just go buy one from the Lego store on my VIP card, earn the points then trade the set. He agreed that this would probably work out best for both of us. Then I pushed my luck, and asked if he was in a rush to make the deal... I asked if we could wait until March Double VIP. He said sure. Super stoked!

I guess if you want it badly, it is a decent price.  I have seen these pop up for under $200 more than once.  I personally got mine for $150 or $175 awhile back.

For $240 you can save your VIP points and buy it in the US for that price.

[Zelgazra]

I'm pretty sure the cost of getting to a Lego Store in the states would outweigh the difference for me unfortunately. If I watched CL like a hawk I might catch a better deal, yes. But I feel like it's still a good one as I'll earn close to 500 VIP points that I wouldn't otherwise.

Plus TB has got to retire soon right? Right?! So the used copy I get to build should appreciate in hopefully not to long a term as well. It's interesting, the guy seems savvy on all this investment/retirement strategy, it's strange he wouldn't hold it until post retirement himself, but maybe he's more a builder than invester and just really wants a new set but is strapped for cash.

24 Hours race car is back at sears at 20% off, sadly the $50 off $200 doesn't seem to work any more.

Some of the locations I scouted showed zero sales tags but I didn't bother scanning anything...

Getting price checks at superstore is a pain as there are none of those customer scanners anywhere at least not at my local superstore.

Its hit or miss, a few stores have the price checkers but a few others NEVER had them installed.

I went and checked my local superstore yesterday and sitting on a clearance shelf was changing seasons for 30$. I picked up all they had save an opened box one.

Bid before the auction ends. Are you 100% sure all 6 boxes are sealed and contain the product?

It is a good buy at $200, but you can expect it to sit a long time.

I've sold 16x  Canada Post #105 sealed (BL#105-1) 5>6 years ago at $150-$175 each, also sold a dozen minty instructions for about $40 each and the logo bricks for $12-$15 each as well - it's one of my favourite little sets.  

Unfortunately, once that fellow in Montreal started printing the bricks himself the value tanked and even mint parts direct from Samsonite suddenly became hard to move. 

I haven't seen a nisb set irl in quite awhile now so there's definitely an opportunity there, especially if the original packing box with the CP logo & pos destination on it is included (I thought they were 8-packs but might have been 6 indeed)  you shouldn't loose on an investment of $50 per set anyway...  best of luck, that set is one Canadians are always looking for! and evaporate instantly at trade shows & cons.
