Cool.  I guess we need to start a thread for deals that seem too good to be true, but just might be.  I'm sure the people that got 5 $220 MSRP sets for a little under $11 each wouldn't mind people posting them.

I wonder how much this poll would change if it were to be done again, lol

No one thinks $30 & free shipping is strange? Gimme a break, shipping alone is over $30...

That's the thing, ppl need to learn/be aware of scams/incredible deals

eBay has confirmed the account was compromised.

And now it's been removed. You're welcome...

The thing is a bunch of people will buy because it doesnt matter if its a scam or not..Ebay or PP will refund their money and who do you think bites the bullet? The scam artist? Not! The only thing advertising that garbage here does is raise Ebay/paypal fees. So I sugesst everyone stops talking about it unless they want to be in full moderation mode.

Look, I understand what you're all saying, but there's some of us that don't mind taking a chance on deals that look too good to be true.  I can post all of the people's comments about receiving the $10 42009 sets in mint shape if you'd like.  That is just as ridiculous as this, if not more ridiculous.  What I was trying to say is just because it's beyond your risk tolerance doesn't mean that others don't mind taking the chance.  If anyone finds such deals, feel free to shoot them to my inbox.  At least a MOD won't remove your links that way.

This was before the warning came through, Mr. Rockefeller, so please don't put me in account-jail.

You understand that behavior only hurts all of us in the long run right? Unless of course when you get scammed you arent filing claims to get your money back which I'm certain isn't the case.

LOL...out of respect for Mr. Rockefeller, this will be all the reply I make to this comment.

$480 on Amazon and we're OFF!

 

Curious if anyone will continue to buy at just 20% above retail knowing the end is here? 

Since you were only able to buy 1 per week at $400, $480 and avoiding tax might entice some folks.

Reseller bump for the DS? Or is it too expensive an item?

Mid-January will be pretty telling when folks start cashing in their gift cards.

I hope a few exit at $480.  That would be great.

I think we will still see this set pop in and out of big box stores in the first few months of the year as they clean out their warehouses. 

I am only holding a few of this one. Waiting for this to go to at least $1000 before I consider selling.

480 on a 400$ set come on folks way too early . I would be looking for the rope if it didn't go that much to begin with . That barely covers fees 

[Average Guy]

The entire set 10188 is a "scam" to me. lol    In for 0.

Does any other store besides Target sell this?

[labfreak7]

All the big box stores used to carry it

My sarcasm was too hidden

Haven't you heard some on here said you need six hundred to break even their math is not mine

just messing this set will be awesome

i would love you all to consider running a poll again about how many do you have now that it may be retired capture the old poll as a historical post and then run a new one
