newbie77 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 nose-dive! still $70 + 4.99shipping in Amazon.. holding so far ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 OK got it down. Thanks for patience. Box, Open Box, Stack of 21 super, stack of 9 damaged, and 2 photos of the worst of the 9, only 2 were like this, the others much better. It will nose-dive a little I imagine, want to move them out but not crazy. Will sell the 9 damaged at a discount, have 3 for fellow BP'ers that asked and will sell 10-12 of the remaining 18 great shape ones and then hold the rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Note I am still happy with the end result. Nothing to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkkthunder Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Tru ebay cancelled a part of the earlier wave order I think they cancelled a portion and not all of it Email is not clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie77 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 That's why it does make sense to break up orders to smaller batches... Had similar issues - when box is above certain weight, it does not survive the falls truly agree. that's why i see more damaged Tower Bridge than 10 GB in a box. probably also depends on the length of the travel.. for me most of the KMART and TRU order comes from east coast and i am in the west. so by the time i get it boxes are in a bad shape. if they have good/enough padding then i get good sets otherwise they will look like a 30' trailer ran over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Note mine came from Ohio to Kentucky. Not too far. Imagine if it was Ohio to California in that box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toycrazedchris Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Imagine if it was Ohio to California in that box. Now that's is just a mean thing to say!! (says guy from West coast waiting on 14lb box from Groveport, OH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie77 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 that's crap .. i had my hopes high .. that i finally managed to get my order in when they came back this afternoon.. these guys playing with people's feeling now .... don't understand why they would cancel the morning order and re-list items this time they re-listed for 63. so, it was 100 sold in the morning and another 63 in the afternoon ... they cancelled mine as well. the one order i managed to get at noon.. btw this was the only order i ever placed for RI both TRU/TRU-ebay combined.

TheBrickClique Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Now I'm not feeling so bad about missing on the RI opportunity today. I had the last 4 from the second wave when ebay bailed on the buy it now click. Watch them list 163 tomorrow morning for $27.95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Does eBay even care when a large retailer like TRU does something like this? Nope. TRU gets numerous negative feedbacks for various mishaps, like shipping, and an item not being in stock. This has barely affected their overall rating, and I think eBay would like them to stay so that they can get all the fees from the high volume selling that TRU does on eBay.

jaylay Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 got my HH from target today and the box is 8/10 ... some creasing, corner scuffs and seals not so perfect ... but they did an awesome job trying to protect this thing ... came in an extra extra large box fillled with paper and air bags just to protect the box ...

fuzzy_bricks Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I got a 10% off from the TRU eBay team for the cancelled RI. I assume this is only good for TRU ebay and not TRU online? Anyone have any experience with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience with these. email/communication you received from them declaring your eligibility for 10% off next order should have detailed instruction on how to redeem it and/or process to follow. its hocus-pocus rule so can't comment on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they start to care about all the negative feedback coming in, and this is a way to avoid at least part of it? It would be a good sign.
