You could always do some work.

The forum too?  BP sometimes gets caught in our filter, but the forum is usually in the clear.  It might start working for you again.

41133 Amusement Park Bumper Cars

It's a Target exclusive. Its the only set that hasn't been on sale yet. It's the only set I'm missing from the sub theme.

Target even puts it in their ad this week, and advertises it at RRP!

I'm impatient. I just want to get it.

My Targets even have a cardboard piece that juts out from the shelf highlighting this one, taunting me that it hasn't been available for less than RRP.

You can make yourself a deal ..... buy 2 packs of 8=12 rolls of Bounty Towel on sale for $9.99 each, get a $5 giftcard, then use said giftcard in the next transaction to buy the bumpercars - instant savings. Multiply the Bounty Towel purchase by 2 and you get a $10 discount

I just replenished our pantry with Charmin and Bounty - bought enough to use the $10 GC back on $100+ voucher, got a $10 GC for the Charmin and 2x $5 for the Bounty. $30 in GCs. Felt like shopping at KMart

I'm always shopping Target due to the "get a $5/$10 GC" deals that seem to be on constantly (also on non-P&G brands like Cottonelle and Viva). This time around it was a little weird - I think they hadn't refreshed their shelf tags yet even though they should as it is Sunday and that's when their prices change in that department. The 8=12 Bounty Towel (select-a-size) was marked as on sale from $12.79 for $9.99 but no GC banner, however, scanned with sale price and $5 GC promo when I checked out. The 30=68 Charmin Strong was $17.89 with a "Buy 3 get $10 GC" tag but rang up as just $17.89. Manager overrode it for me to get $10 off, then applied the $10 free GC after $100 purchase offer. Best of both

And yes, we're talking TP. @Exciter1's favorite subject.

That's a pretty big pantry.

White 1x1 tiles in Farnsworth house. All 238 of them.

You put a set up on ebay cause you saw there were none offered MISB and expect to sell it fast and for a very good profit.

The next day you check the listings again and there are 5!!! new listings MISB and they are all undercutting you. 

Sigh!

I'm starting to hate the ebay final value fee promos on ebay as every time there is one there is an influx of sets and undercutting, race to the bottom price wise

I've never understood that, if their in such a hurry to sell, why not just list their sets under an auction instead of a BIN!!!

Yeah, it's like ebay does a FVF promotion whenever it looks like prices start climbing again. If those new sellers coming out of the woodwork would only undercut each other by a cent each it would only be half bad but some people price their BINs a lot lower than everyone else.

Maybe Amazon limiting sellers in the Xmas period is not so bad after all.

That's nothing! I bought a used and assembled Farnsworth House. Broke it down completely and washed it. Then put it together again. 

Undercutters who underprice by 40% below the next price on quick selling items. Why leave money on the table? Some people are so dumb. BTW I'm not the next price I'm 7th or 8th on Amazon holding steady.

When an item you want on EBay has a "Submit Best Offer" option and you decide to lowball to see if there's room for haggling ..... only to have your lowball offer auto-accepted. Now I'm wondering how much lower I could have gone .......
