    See but that requires you to 1. know about the new, lower price 2. know that there is a price adjustment policy and 3. go through the effort of trying to mae that happen

    It's still heavily dishonest and people not doing 1 or more of those 3 is what they count on.

    I was initially going to say, let's not be as careless/wreckless with our accusations as they were at times in the past with some peoples' credit card info, so as I started to do some sale to sale comparisons I found some went up in price and some went down in price... OUCH!!

    In any case, as a pubic service announcement: If using that site, people should use PayPal when able to. Their history with cc-info is not very confidence inducing. (if I find a link to that thread later on, I'll append this note with a link to where people can go and discuss further/inquire of experiences)

    Below screenshot is an image of the "Customer Appreciation"
    Day 3: Wed on the left, and Day 5: Fri/Weekend on the right

    (also, the stinger went down by $20 bucks, 279.99 to 259.99)

    As soon as they get low on something, they jack the price up. Doesn't matter what the retail or market or whatever price is at the time.....if they know someone might be looking for it and they can make an extra couple of bucks by overcharging people for it, they will do it. They do this non-stop.
    I was watching a figure, getting ready for purchase and within a week or so it went up $20+, as soon as it sold out on one of their competitor's sites. That is just scalper, Bulls**t! The figure(s) didn't cost them any more to get, they already had it sitting there. They just noticed they could probably charge someone more who was desperate to get a figure. Poor way to conduct business. Very poor way to treat people.

    The most straight-up, helpful person I have interacted with has been Toy Dojo/Eddie. Unfortunately, they often sell out of stuff before I get to order or pre-order from them.

    YMMV but eBay is running a targeted $25.00 off of your purchase of $25.01 or more.

    Code: HAPPY25
    Expires on 09/10/20

    "Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again."
    What the hell do I have to do to be eligible for anything but Dyson and "refurbished" deals??

    As far as other deals go, Target has a $10-off-$50-of-store-pickup-items for those with Redcard/Circle accounts.

    If it was 2011 I'd be all over that Green Giant...

    *Looks at Delorean... :D 

    *Looks at the same depleted wallet that exists both in 2011 and 2020. :confused: 

    But I digress. :p 

    Entertainment Earth has a 10% off code: ULTIMATEFC

    Looks like it only works for in stock items.

    Not sure when it expires.

    Edit: already posted by @PurpleStuf earlier today. My bad!

    Whole lotta nope for me. I'd really like to know eBay's rhyme or reason on these things.

    I don't understand why this makes people mad, it's just supply and demand. These toys aren't necessities

    Add something to your cart. Click goto checkout. Then there will be an option to apply a promo code. After the code is entered it will either apply the code and you’ll see the discount taken from the total or it will tell you the promo code is not valid.
