If enough people just flag it as prohibited, CL will pull the ad. ;)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Buying up every copy the store has solely to resell them and then bragging to all of us about how much profit you're going to make is a dick move. I don't care how you try to justify it.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Nope, not a dick move. Multiple threads i've seen with ppl stating "one for me, and plan on selling the other" or something of that nature. Geez, part of bargain hunting is saving $, which making it is within the same threshold.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Yes, it is. Doesn't give you the right to screw other people just because you want to make some quick cash.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Damn, I just opened my Roots set and it's got two disc 1's and no disc 3! CRAP!!!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

How do you think the "buyer/seller" market works? I love a good deal on something as much as the next guy, but this is how the stores themselves make profits. Some people ebay like this for a living, stop being so shallow.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Exactly. Even if he gets $20 for it, eBay still takes it $2-3, then Paypals $2, plus shipping and he is lucky to get $10. If all that is worth $10...perhaps he should try and get a real job?

Edit: Looking at eBay he will be lucky to recoup his costs on many of those. Animaniacs/Pinky goes for $10-13 :lol:

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I agree wholeheartedly, doing "dirt" is bad enough, bragging about it takes it to a whole nother level, like that guy awhile back who bragged agout a dvd somehow "magiclly" getting a lower price sticker on it.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

people trying to "ebay" for living should put half as much effort into finding a real job

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I'm being shallow? Excuse me, but I'm not the one ripping people off. You can try to make up excuses and suck, but fact is, it's still wrong.



And those ebayers you mentioned, they should probably find a real job.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Oh, and for those that want to laugh at our little reseller, guess who found his eBay account? This guy! Not hard to check his previous posts and track down his location: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/7889334-post51.html

http://cgi.ebay.com/Pinky-and-The-Br...3%3A1|294%3A50

With a whole 6 feedback...well, good luck! I think I have a few eBay accounts where I can place some bids, win, and leave negative feedback right away ;)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

That sucks man. Someone else in this thread had a similar thing happen with a Roots set. They took it back and exchanged for a complete one. Hope your store has more.

And it would make me think twice about reselling ...

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

You sir, are my hero. lol

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

And as you can see from my feedback #, it's not like I make a living from doing this or nothing. Geez, cut a guy some slack.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I look forward to Twilight Zone S1's popping up from you. I can't wait to total up the sale price of each set, eBay fees, Paypal fees and then we can all sit back and see how much "profit" you make (what's your tax % for KY?). I never have a problem with someone buying an extra 1, hell 2 sets to resell for a small "profit" (i.e. pay for the one you just bought for yourself) but cleaning out the store is pretty scummy. How many Beanie Babies do you have? Hot Wheels? :lol:

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

correct me if I am wrong, but. I believe this forum is intended for dvd collectors, not those trying make quick easy money

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Over/under on what they sell for? The Pinky and the Brain completed listings sold for between $8-15 shipped. The Animaniacs ranged from $13 to about $20 shipped. And that was before random people tried reselling them.

Amazon is already down to less than what Big Lots is selling for Pinky and the Brain, Vol. 2.

No idea what ebay fees are but I can't imagine there is profit in that short of selling hundreds of them and dedicating second job type hours.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

FYI, I am acctually keeping only one of the TZ's. Seen multiple posts of guys saying "GOT 2!".

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Yep, prices on Amazon are low for all those sets. Nice. Hope SimpsonFan kept his receipt.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

It truly is mind boggling though, the sour treatment from you peeps. Especially considering how many others are no doubt guilty of the same actions. And no, i didn't "literally" clean out the store, but I did buy quite a few.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Yeah, but some of us only buy 2 or 3, not the whole damn stock.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

that you will no doubt sell to your fellow forum members for actual price plus actual shipping, lol

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

$6 x 20 = $120

So you bought about 7 sets of each.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

this is why some of us hunt from big lots to big lots looking for a title we want and find nothing. there is yiddish term for such folks called "chazzah" which litterally translates to "pig"

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I assure you, in my little town, they would sit on shelves for months.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Yeah, and I'm gonna buy 30 copies of Broken Flowers!!!!! So HA!

Actually, I hope to nab Smallville and Nip/Tuck on Blu when I visit this weekend. I never have good luck though as the movies typically lean towards the demographic of where the store is located. But, like every Friday, I'll get my Papa Johns, walk next door and get a couple Mexican Cokes and search the shelves of Big Lots while the pizza is being cooked.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

ha ha, surely you can come up with a better defense than that...

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

And they will likely sit on your shelves, unsold, for months. There is a reason why Big Lots get these titles, and its because all the other wholesalers already bought the other overstock.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

not to change the subject...but I did also see james bond movies, Excorcist 3, and Casablanca at the Hazard, Ky location. :blush:

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

and he didnt buy up every copy of every james bond movie, wow, shocked

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

umm...do they have high resell value? :banana:

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I said my piece, I am done with this, surely karma takes care of such things

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

was kidding

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Usually when these sets hit Big Lots, the price on them crashes for quite awhile. Because the same sets are offered to other sellers on amazon and ebay and to other discounter stores. Look whats already happened to Dallas, Wonder Woman and others

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The dallas sets are selling 3x the price new on amazon marketplace, and 5x from amazon.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

good point, we will prb be seeing them at other stores like ross before long

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I've already seen the some of the same sets at Half Price Books but not quite as cheap. But there are wholesalers on Amazon that are offered these at the similar price Big Lots pays.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

and they will prb sit there forever at those prices, like at amazon market place the way one or 2 morons try to get an insanely high price as "collectable"

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I bet this doesn't last long. I just looked up about 10 titles from the master list and they are all maybe $1 or $2 over the Big Lots price.

I think you aren't the only one with this idea, and you all undercut each other into the ground.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Tried two more Big Lots today, nothing.

I have the whole next week and a half off work, time to go exploring around the city.
