February 2016 Polybag Availability Update

Original Post:

Sorry if there's a post like this already. I searched but polybag comes up in so many threads its hard to see! I was thinking of getting polybags to sell. I'm not really looking for huge profit, mostly it seemed like a good idea for building up my eBay feedback. So I don't need to be super profitable but of course I don't want to lose money with shipping, etc. How do you know what bags will do well (obviously like anything theres no sure thing but any idea what does decent vs what js pretty much always a flop). They are hard to search for since they are random. How long do they usually last? Is there any general tips you could give?

Yeah, but how many GameStop polys did you score lately? 10? 20? I don't wanna know lol nothing lame about your polybag hunts...

Fair point.  But (as is my custom) I grabbed only 1 Olaf bag at RRP and it was delivered via Easter Bunny.  Yes, I know it will cost far less to procure than my Game Stop finds will yield, BUT STILL...

All I know is that if you'll keep showing off like that with those iron man polys I'll contact you and ask to return the favor,  

and how many polys I sent you for purchase price and shipping only?  

And what is your purchase price of those GameStop polybags? ($0?)  

just kidding, we're good, I'm glad at least some of us find them in those numbers...

 

In all fairness, it's taken lots of hours/gas and been over 7 states

You should explore southern WI (before I get there)

That's a good honest answer right there.

Just saw a new polybag at TRU: 30371 Nexo Knight Cycle $3.99... probably given away as a promo soon?

I think so. I'm behind on doing the April polybag update so I have to take a look and see what my notes say.

Yeah. I found the nexus cycle there today too.

Going for $12 on eBay. An exclusive?

I picked up a couple of those at TRU on Saturday as well. 

Does Walmart carry polybags?

I never see them there.

I saw a lot at my local wm before christmas.  I think 4 different kinds.  Joker, Star Wars TIE fighter, a friends one and I think the 4th might have been a city poly of some sort.  I don't usually see them on a regular basis. 

I haven't seen any polybags at any Target or Walmart near me since the holidays.

I passed on about 2 boxes of those Nexos at TRU last weekend. Maybe I'll grab and sell in bulk if they are moving

Based on your recents posts (  ), I thought Only polys you get in bulk are iron man

Yup, I was right...bulk

Thats some nice $$$, that's putting smile on your face too I'm sure, when you get the patriot, are you disappointed because it's the cheaper (per eBay sold) one? Lol

no dislike button but I found this  or 

Landed 24 nexo cycles and a dirty look from a TRU cashier.. I am thinking to myself " hey I left like 3 of them on the hooks for little Timmy". If she only knew I was buying them with a heavily discounted GC, she would have felt better about the whole thing.  

Anyone else go to target today? Normal POS rack polys were down to $3.49 at the ones I stopped at.

I saw that, but I wish there were more of the 39¢ firecar polybags I found at one Target!

Congrats to you! I struck out after Easter.

I love how most TRU cashiers are unaware that they can enter a quantity instead of scanning each and every item. Sometimes, I even tell them they can enter a quantity, and they tell me it's not possible, even when another cashier has done it on the same register in the past. Have some receipts that are about 15 feet long from TRU. /endrant

I've had cashiers tell me its policy to scan each item. As if they need more reasons not to be a cashier.

Nexo poly is $3.19 (reg 3.99) if you can find them at TRU.
