we don't have much of nothing at our flea market or yardsales....I think some of our locals cleaned most everyone out..one of them runs a "hobby shop" where he sells vintage joes...last time i looked, he wanted $40 for a loose,incomplete baroness v1, $120 for a loose/complete v2 Snake eyes, etc.

yeah, we have a pretty hardcore scalper/secondary market element here. I know of at least three who don't have jobs, they just go to stores when they open and cherry pick toys. And not just joes, but all toys. They have PTT handsets and the radio to co-workers/accomplices at other stores. I had to explain it to my nephew when he asked me why the man "took all the good toys". Kinda frustrating.

Miley Cyrus has been stalking me all weekend...half the stores i went to that song was playing, then it was on my radio when the alarm went off. Then it was playing over the gas station radio when i fueled up, then just now when i turned on my radio at work.

i know... i am still looking for a job..
one time at TRU during the summer season a few years ago.. people would go in the boxes we put out on the floats late at night to get at the stuff we were going to put out the next day since it was nearly closing time... had to call in several people on that

Yeah, our TRU had that problem a few years back, one of the employees asked me what i was looking for, and i told him. He told me they didn't have it in the store but he could sell me one himself, for 4 times the retail price. I told him no thanks and on the way out i told the manager. We chatted about it and the manager told me he would look into it. turned out the kid had been putting toys in his locker to "buy" later and then selling them on ebay. He got fired.

uumm... that can get ya fired at TRU if an employee was trying to actually try selling his own stuff to customers within the store at thier work time. its against policy and the no solicitation law.
one of the bosses who i got fired tried to get me with that when i was talking to a customer about yugioh cards even if i wasn't selling them.. heya jimbo
