MCM sale prices

[robin0850]

Oh, wow, I would have loved to get Josefina's table and chairs for only $15, even though I don't collect furniture!

Not to mention AGT's, and maybe a Kailey!

(sigh) But I can't go this year--it's too far away, AND an hour or so on the other side of Chicago from me! Unless maybe I could carpool with someone in NC, or get my sister in VA interested in a "road trip"!

And DH says the travel would cost more than I'd save vs. ordering online; but it's just so hard to resist those prices! I still wanna go! [img]frown.gif[/img]

I know what you mean about the travel expenses. My sister and I go on a road trip every couple of years for a weekend of shopping. Last year, we decided to make a weekend of the MCM sale, then the outlets in Kenosha, and then Gerney Mills near Chicago. I looked at the travel expenses as "vacation expenses", then the AG stuff was still a deal. I bought so much of what we really wanted last year, I know I can't justify the travel expenses of going back this year. BUT, I'm still going to try and get tickets, and if I can manage to get a really great time (7:30 or earlier) I think I'll have to go again [img]confused.gif[/img]

I've already done the math and figured out that I couldn't possibly buy enough stuff to make it worth the trip monetarily...but I still want to go! [img]mad.gif[/img]

Do the things people buy flood eBay, or is it mostly people buying for themselves and their kids/etc.?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think there's probably a good bit of both. I remember thinking it was weird seeing so many things listed with X's on them waaayyy back before I knew what they meant, so I'd be willing to bet that even more people would have caught on to the idea of re-selling items from the sale on ebay by now.

Do people ever pick things up for other HB'ers? I'd totally love to give someone the money for either the 3-in-1 bed and/or Nellie and/or the Girl's Suitcase at those prices!
