Keep in mind I was suggesting it had been longer than six months. Since TRU went under two years ago, the only in-store sales I've seen have been Target's spend-X-and-text-us-to-get-a-giftcard-for-Y. There's generally been a shift to "surge pricing" models, where new stuff is immediately jacked up by resellers and, eventually, is dumped en masse online only. That's different than a traditional sale where they're trying to push volume higher by offering a deal.
The death of toy stores like TRU and KB triggered the never on sale thing going on now. Man, I liked doing signs and seeing signs for sales.
Keep in mind that toys generally don't go on sale during this time in the stores. That usually happens during the holidays.

That's what I noticed too. I didn't see much that was actually on sale, let alone something that would suggest a clearance.
I was just thinking earlier, when was the last time you saw an actual sale in a store? Hell, when was the last time you saw enough stock in the same store to take advantage of a buy-X-get-Y sort of deal?

This is the guy that puts "we buy collections" on the front page, weeks later tells you they're not buying collections anymore (that's why the file upload doesn't work), and then LEAVES IT ON THE FRONT PAGE. I'm pretty sure it's a turnkey operation at this point.

Yup. One guy posting, taking orders, fulfilling orders, shipping orders, and probably paying the rent…lolz!
Maybe he doesnt READ the boards, he just throws up in em and leaves… Cuz if he was reading them; maybe he would change the prices in his store.

Man his sales are always a joke and on shit no one wants. Wonder if he moved any of those Netflix Ultra Magnus asking over $100 and they marked down to $35 at Walmart.
Your joking.

I was pretty much done anyway after I orderred Devil Stinger and they sent him in just the Devil Stinger box with a thin sheet of bubble wrap covering about 80% of the box…and the shipping label taped to hold the bubble wrap sheet together.
That's terrible. I was done with them after my credit card number was stolen after using it with just them. Actually it happened twice with two different cards.
