I forget exactly which thread I was looking at, but I remember a while ago I read about some insane deals you all got when ringside had a flood around black friday in 2014 and sold damaged/loose figures dirt cheap. I unfortunately missed out but I heard the deals were crazy. If you remember ordering anything from that sale, comment what you got!

I'm pretty sure it was the effects from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, which destroyed my old summer memories on the Jersey Shores
The sale didn't go up until a year or so later though. All I remember getting was the very pricey and rare at the time SDCC Undertaker for like, less than $20 bucks. Everything put up was loose and really crazy cheap. He did have a scent of ocean/sand but honestly I didn't mind seeing as I live a half a mile away from a beach right now anyway.

I got loose DM Bret and the first Taker for $17 total I think? I seem to remember prices dropping as time went by, and I waited as long as I could. Every week they were adding stuff. The black and white Macho exclusive dropped to $8 at one point. Crazy stuff.

I passed on loose rockers for $5 for both  That’s my largest regret since I began buying figures. There was a ton of loose figures at that time. I had just started collecting so I didn’t realize it was because of flood damage. I thought it was common for rsc to have loose figures and I thought they were used so I didn’t want any of them. |

It was a really good time to get loose figures for cheap, the loose stock lasted for quite some time too if I remember correctly. |

What an interesting thread. Never knew of the flood at the time but definitely made a purchase during this time. I've just found my PayPal transaction and reads like this:
Rick Martel Legends 5 - $5.99
- Large Gold Glasses - $1.99
Bret Hart DM 5 - $6.49
- Canadian Flag - $4.99
- Shades - $2.99
Good times

I feel like I got the original RSC Kane and SES Punk at this time. I’m not positive. I remember they were like 25 bucks each

The rockers were down to $4? My bud kept telling me to get them but I stalled so long I missed out.
I can't remember what I did purchase at the time but the deals were ridiculously cheap. Elite 16 Nash, DM Bret Hart, DM Stone Cold, 1st RSE Kane (thats one I did get)... they all came complete with the accessories too.

Wow I remember this. Unfortunately I didn’t take advantage of the sale like I wish I did, but I did pick up a $4 Elite Rey Mysterio and the TNA Surfer Sting exclusive.
