justgod Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I am curious as to where you long-timers think the best place will be the day after Christmas for sales. I live in a small market area with just one Target, two Walmarts, and a crappy low end Toys R Us (and a Kmart that ALWAYS seems to have stuff on clearance or BOGO offers). My Walmarts must have a pretty good sell through rate because I never see anything on clearance in them. Anybody have thoughts or suggestions based on previous experience? Thanks!

Ed Mack Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Average LEGO set auction prices drop significantly after Christmas on eBay. You can start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I have also gotten the impression over the last couple months that were a lot of retail type places that had huge sales on LEGO after Christmas. Will no one come forward and help with this question? Won't somebody please think of the children? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing set in stone as of yet I believe. A lot depends on what sets don't sell or which sets are getting cleared out for new inventory. There are a ton of new themes coming into stores, so the old ones have to disappear. You will see deals. It seems like they all like to price match and compete on most sets. Basically, you have to scan our site several times a day a look for members that have posted deals or watch what we post on the various discounts. Finding deals is work....sometimes. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah, pretty much if there is anything leftover from this year they (hopefully) will go on clearance or atleast on sale. Clearance is supposed to be where you pay only around 5-10% above cost (what the store payed for the item originally) but I haven't seen that in a dog's age.
