not to be a dick but I mailed a ratchet to a friend in Co. (I am in Arkansas) first class in one of the Hasbro select boxes for $5 and some change. It weighs 12oz with box so .....there’s that
I got Ratch in IL! Last week I was looking in the Quad Cities, both IL and IA side and I went to several Walgreens. I didn\'t find anything. Yesterday I went to Galesburg, IL and I found him. I always have good luck at that Walgreens.
This is what I meant. I wasn't trying to be a dick. I just have sold and shipped enough to know that in no way unless you use a priority flat rate box or stuff it full of packing filler that it should be 13 bucks to ship it. Like even if its over 13 ounces, i've shipped things priority from Ohio to California for 8 bucks.
That's assuming you have that exact box lying around and a buyer who's ok with no packaging and the potential to receive a highly crushed box/item. Not to mention travel distance (shipping zones). If any of these are not equal, shipping exceeds $10 very quickly.
Well, back to Walgreens. Having just finished my Dani/New Mutants Marvel Legends search I was looking forward to a break. Oh well.
I checked out 5 Walgreens in the immediately north of Seattle are last night, 2 had Ratchets and the ML Exlusive (I was looking for the Clone Wars Obi Wan for my kiddo too)
Shit. Wish I would've seen this earlier. Oh well, good to know that they are in the area, and maybe I'll get lucky and either find him at a different store, or maybe he'll still be at that store when I get off today. Either way, thanks for the info!
Ratchet is available again from Amazon, though including shipping charges he is going for a total of $70.69. Oddly enough on my Amazon Wishlist Ratchet has been deleted, though his Amazon product page can still be reached, if you have it book marked.
I have a Walgreens pretty close to me, I figured "maybe I'll go to it once or twice a week to see if I'm lucky", first day I check, found 2 on the shelf (purchased one of them, left the other on shelf). I'm in Houston, Texas.
wonder if he's going to go up on their website anytime soon. That's how I usually get their exclusives.
I wouldn't take any chances. I would try to get him in store, ASAP, if possible. You never know if this exclusive will be treated exactly the same as the ones, before.
LUCK! Stopped at the Walgreens in Marion (first stop) and found a single Ratchet on the shelf. Thanks again for the heads up that these were here locally! Now just Astrotrain, and then I think I'm ready for Earth Rise...
I sold most of my old videogame collection a few months ago. Shipping is always more than you expect it to be. I actually lost a few cents on games that I sold for $5 depending on where I shipped it to. I even shipped a Firestar/Novastar to someone and it was $8 to ship it. Add tax and it was easily $30 cost to me. The problem is that a lot of people have no idea how much it costs to actually ship something in the Amazon era. Not to mention packaging time and a trip to the carrier.
Transformers Deluxe Ratchet Figure He's up at Walgreens.com but it gives me a technical error when I try to check out.
