Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases

[Hodgeman]

Just won a auction on Ebay. Usually I wouldn't post about that, but this one I could not pass up on posting.

Though not really today's purchase (more like yesterday's), I (finally) found and bought the ninja glider polybag from Target :D

Alright, I think I have the greatest Steal of a Deal ever. I will put pics when I get home so be patient. My family went and visited my inlaws back in southeastern Ohio. My son and I decided we would go garage saling. The first garage sale we hit had a clear garbage bag full of legos for 10.00. We quickly grabbed it. Later after sorting it had the lego harry potter quiditch (new one) Hogwarts game, police helicopter, some star wars battle packs and a lot of misc bricks and guys. We were in such a good mood. I told him that we should quit now b/c it wouldn't get any better. He insisted we keep going b/c he had his lucky hat on (he's 6). We hit a few more w/ no luck and were on our way back to the inlaws when we saw another sale. We walk up and I see a rubbermaid bin, 30 gallon, sitting there filled w/ legos. The bin was filled to the top. The top had a lot of unopened set bags. I didn't even bother looking through what was there. I saw the woman who's garage sale it was and asked how much. I was prepared to pay 100.00 plus. She looks at me, then the bin, and says,........"For the bin and legos.......5.00". My mouth almost dropped. I looked in my wallet and gave her a 10.00 and told her not to worry about it. My son could hardly contain himself. The whole way back to the car he was whooping it up how lucky his hat was that day. So here is what was in the bin all complete by the way and some of it was still built; Lego city farm and lego city tractor, police station 7744, 2 spongebob sets, the fire hovercraft, the fire truck w/ boat, some more star wars battle packs, the old naboo star fighter, one of the police battle pack like sets, the winter toy shop, and finally the best of all.....a complete lego town plan 10184. I have never hit a deal like this. It was an amazing day.

'Jealousy' does not even begin to describe how I feel after reading that! Congrats on the score!

[Ice]

Wow, thats an amazing deal! $10 for Town Plan is already a steal. The other sets like police station and winter toy shop makes it even better!

Congrats on the score! :D

[condor]

Wow, that is amazing! I can't wait to get back to yard saling :)

[Mantisking]

Close the thread, mvas11 has won.

[Legobrandon]

Wow, i'm shocked. Town plan for 10 bucks? Dude that's the greatest find I've ever heard of. But at the same time I feel kinda bad, because people don't know how much LEGO sells for now, especially the Town Plan. Anyways, Great job! :D

[Legobrandon]

Speaking of the Town Plan, does anyone know where I can get one for cheap? LOL Maybe a little over MSRP.

[Brickbuilder0937]

Wow, congratulations on your find.

[legohunter]

Wooo.....incredible..... :o I never had any luck at garage sale. Good for you and your son. Nice lego hunt.

[hatcher]

We're not worthy, we're not worthy. Wow, that's incredible!

[tarakou]

that's quite a lucky hat your son has!! both of you must be ecstatic!

[NIGELTTF]

Wooo.....incredible..... :o I never had any luck at garage sale. Good for you and your son. Nice lego hunt.

I've been complemented on my scores at yard sales, yet never, ever have found lego that wasn't as good a deal as a decent sale.

[Zeya]

Oh man. I almost feel sorry for the lady who let a giant bin go for five bucks. She didn't know what she was doing. I just hope she didn't make her young grandchild/niece/etc cry from the loss.

My old stash of Lego from my childhood is more or less lost. It wasn't found in the last rummage run through my mom's storage space, and she thinks she might have even given it away. (I hope not. Give away the ninja turtle action figures or some other toy I could care less about, just not my Lego!) One day...

Scam - don't waste your time.

Item location: Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Anytime I see anything being sold FROM Hong Kong, I generally consider it a fake, hence why they sell it to you for so cheap. The time or two I've actually paid for something, it hasn't been the real product, but some knockoff.

NEW Death Star for US $215.33 with free shipping ..... isn't it too good?

[Ice]

He has 100% feedback, though, the deal seems too good to be true... unless of course he owns a toy business and they're having a clearance or something.
