I picked up a mini and DO last week during the start of the sales.
I arrived late to work but i was able to get one of each
Also got a kombi when they restocked them later in the evening.
Yeha when i came to pick up the Mini and DO in the morning. There were scalpers already flooding Myer Sydney City.
I just didn't give them a second thought; i heard from other sources, that they were sold out in half an hour.
Later in the evening when i returned to pick up a VW Kombi.
Someone had two pet shops on hold when i went to pick up the kombi
Furthermore another customer had bought 14 frozen sets that evening as well.
I felt pretty bad for the kids who actually wanted one.
But gladly the staff restocked the frozen sets the following day.
alot of scalpers are lurkers on the facebok buy and sell groups who lie dormant until the sales appear and the use that as an opportunity to buy and resell above RRP.
for that reason alone; alot of active users wont post sales details or stock availability (when they are at the stores) to the page due to that reason alone
I have read the comments on the myer page and am appalled by the way myer have dealt with the whole situation.
I'm not surprised that a customer was allowed to hold on two cages worth of lego and also received an additional 20% off the already 20% off prices.
It happened during the drop zone sale at big W. where a staff member had apparently wheeled out a number of cargo train sets before they were released to the public.
its a pity the hobby has been ruined by people profiteering instead of actually sharing the hobby with others.
Thats my opinion anyway; unsure if it's right section of the forum.
for those who were looking for the mini cooper; there were two left at Moore park yesterday afternoon when i was shopping for homewares.
