Re: Value Village: what are your Transformers findings?

Within a six month period a while back I found 2 complete G1 Omegas. One in a box. One was just a baggie of what looked like just parts, but it was the whole shebang. Can't remember the cost, but it...

Re: Value Village: what are your Transformers findings?

No, it's wrong if you don't at least pick it up and do one quiet pew-pew bang-bang.

Re: Value Village: what are your Transformers findings?

Could be KO. I've saw a Star Sabre KO floating around VV once. Though the KOs I've seen have red wings.

Re: Value Village: what are your Transformers findings?

I once bough a baggie with a BM Megatron head in it. Six months later I found a BM Megatron with no head. Another I found a Cybertron Red Alert shoulder missile, and years later I came across a bot...

Re: Value Village: what are your Transformers findings?

Have that happening around here too. They had a Cybertron Ironhide in a bag for 9.99 and it was missing both its legs.

I find quite often now, they'll try charging $4+ for a deluxe figure that's...

Re: Value Village: what are your Transformers findings?

I don't think that's the way it works. It's like a normal business. They make a profit. For example they buy something from a charity for $3 and they sell it for $10. After they pay their bills of...

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^

Yeah... unfortunately they're still a for-profit business. Part of their schtick is low-low prices but it's still like every other business, make the most you can.

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^

Just take an AAA battery wrap a little tape around it and you can use that to replace the omega lock, so at least you can transform him.

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^

I sure hope so, but what I didn't mention was a tiny bag of a 5-6 energon weapons priced, I think at 3.99, maybe higher. It had Energon downshifts weapons, but nothing else of note, at least to me,...

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^

I claim no high ground on this, but I don't see purchasing stuff at VV as any different than purchasing it at any other store. VV isn't a charity. They make a profit. They work with charities, but...

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^

Yeah. It seems that every store has a different pricer... some have people who "think" they know toys and try to jack up the prices. I see the 3.99 for one beat up gi-joe all the time and the same...

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^

Their cost isn't nil, but I'm sure pretty close to it. According to wikipedia, they buy from local non-profit orgs and resell for a profit. FYI they are a for profit organization.

Re: A cool Value Village find ! ^_^
