I have a question. How come before you vote you can look at poll results and see what each voter voted, but then once you cast your vote that disappears? Does anybody know why or maybe a way to see the vote details? Maybe this is an error that the administrators/mods can fix. BTW, I voted a 10. BBTS POL is an awesome feature!

I haven't voted because I've never bought from them before, but the poll looks like this:
Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected. Poll Options How would you rate the BBTS Pile of Loot Option? 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 So I can't see the results before I vote. |

Absolutely a ten. I've saved scads of loot using the pile o' loot. definitely makes the most sense for me to order from them, rather than shoot all over town futilely searching for new stuff. Plus, nothing beats opening up, like, 3 waves of vehicles and figures at once.

Yeah, look below that and there is a tab to view poll results and then gives you a detailed breakdown of who voted and how they voted. But for some really odd reason, once you vote this option disappears! Should be the other way around I think. That's why I mentioned maybe this could be fixed by the site admins.

A little side by side comparison:
BBTS #3 DVD pk: $23.99 ($44.99 combined) #4 DVD pk: $23.99 Wave 10: $49.99 Firebat: $19.99 Total: $117.96 - $114.97 Shipping: $12.79 Grand Total: $130.75 - $127.76 Pros: Ease of Doing Business, availability of product, pile of loot, quick shipping Cons: No discounts, higher prices, lag time between "processing/entering the warehouse" to "shipping", HTS #3 DVD pk: $19.99 #4 DVD pk: $19.99 Wave 10: $7.99 each…..($47.94 total) Firebat: $15.99 Total: $103.91 Shipping: $10.94 Grand Total: $114.85 Pros: Discounts (Grant Total after MDCREW 20% discount =$94.05), Ease of Doing Business, Prices are fairly close to retail price Cons: Discounts are not always available, Products not always available, Shipping dates not always accurate Retail #3 DVD pk: $19.99 – $23.99 #4 DVD pk: $19.99 – $23.99 Wave 10: $6.84 - $7.99 each….($41.04 - $47.94 total) Firebat: $14.89 - $15.98 Total: $95.91 - $111.90 Shipping: $0 Grand Total: $95.91 - $111.90 Pros: If you find it…no waiting, helping local independent shops and dealers Cons: Cost of Gas, lack of available product, could take up quite a bit of time, disadvantage for those who are not in areas that cannot support the major markets. Now, this is not taking in to account customer service (the importance of which depends on each individual customer) I would guess that in order for the PoL to work there has to be a specific $$$ amount before it becomes a better deal. I would like to figure out what that $$$ amount is. .::. Last edited by Outbackk; 10-31-2008 at 10:41 AM.. |

I go between BBTS and HTS now. Too bad BBTS doesn't offer discounts, because then they'd be an easy #1. Retail is by far the least favorable to me. Most of the time you end up wasting your time and money on gas (just using a couple of gallons would cost you $5-7 and you may not even get anything - it's a huge crapshoot).

I updated my first post with a side by side comparison and would like some feedback on that as well...
Thanks! |

For retail, you forgot to add sales tax. For most in California, that's somewhere at 8%.
Retail #3 DVD pk: $19.99 – $23.99 #4 DVD pk: $19.99 – $23.99 Wave 10: $6.84 - $7.99 each….($41.04 - $47.94 total) Firebat: $14.89 - $15.98 Total: $95.91 - $111.90 Shipping: $0 Grand Total: $95.91 - $111.90 TAX = $7.6728 - $8.952 After Tax Total = $103.58 - $120.85 Now you have to add your time and gas. Let's say, you get paid $15/hour. And to be realistic, you go to 3 different stores to get everything which takes an hour. Spend one gallon of gas for the drive between the stores = $3 After Gas and Time Total = $121.58 - $138.85 For myself, I make more then $15/hour, and time driving around looking for stuff that I have about a 10% chance of getting is not worth it.
