belljohn Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Got this message from an eBay customer today after shipping a Friends Sunshine Ranch. "Thank you. I had send that second message before seeing your last one. You are saving my life BTW. Count on kids to ask Santa for a set that doesn't come out until January 1st. "But Santa can get it! He can get anything!" Thanks again." Anyone else have some holiday cheer to spread? Resellers aren't so bad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I got a couple like this, will have to post some later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafrog Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 That's neat. The Christmas season is always challenging as a seller, and there are always a few... interesting... buyers to make it more so, but yes, there's also the flip side of nice people who are very happy we resellers exist.

Dallas20 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I know what it's like to have all your Christmas shopping done and then your kids ask Santa for some item that is no longer stores. Parents value eBay at times like this if they didn't they wouldnt be paying the high premiums they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah... I got 2 Dolphin Cruisers yesterday at the LEGO store and sold them in under an hour. Before I sold them, someone asked me if I could ship the same day since she wanted to make sure her daughter got this set for Christmas....unfortunately my data plan was at the limit so I had Data turned off on the phone and someone else got them before that lady. Sad thing is I left precisely one on the shelves. I looked everywhere hoping to find one for her, and was even going to throw in a Friends polybag as a freebie, but they were nowhere to be found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time of year, some people are think that resellers aren't so bad because they can get the products they want. Nice of the buyer to message you that response.

Bold-Arrow Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I got something similar 2 days ago for selling a DC to a dad, he thanked for making it available to his daughter since he couldnt find it anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Without resellers a lot of kids would have been unhappy this Christmas :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Haha, they dislike their local resellers, and love the ones that live far away that can ship them the item they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Or if we didn't buy up all the stock, online and off....they could have got then at retail.I agree...but....Parents need to pay attention and shop for hard to find items a month before Christmas, not a week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Reseller mission statement: "We aim to provide a valuable solution to the time conscious individual that still desires to make a great impression during the Christmas season by allowing access to highly desirable toys at reasonable prices and speedy delivery schedules" Might need to divide that into a couple of sentences lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I got some nice comments from people on CL. I had posted a DC on there, but sold it on eBay and forgot to pull down the listing. I recommended places to find one, and they were able to snag one somewhere else locally. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
