Target a few years ago would have the amount of an item display on the price checker. That’s gone too

It’s been awhile since I have had to use Brick Seek for Mattel’s but I tried it today and it doesn’t show an exact quantity anymore. Is there a way to change this? Or work around? Is this just for Mattel’s? Thank the scalpers for pulling the plug on target brickseek. I used it several times to actually find stuff just for myself. The good old days... I know dude ! F’k scalpers for real |

Brickseek had a message a while back that in order to keep their partnership with Target that Target demanded that quantity be removed from the website. I’ve never seen a retail chain so against selling stock. Scalpers suck but even genuine good people get treated like crap when simply asking if an item is in stock (and not just toys). This is very true. Out of every major retailer out there, Target is the only one that seems to have these problems. Perhaps if they actually ordered the proper amount of stock...and then actually stocked shelves...people wouldn't need to pester employees so much. Speaking of that, I've also noticed a change in the fact that employees never ask if they can help me with anything anymore. They used to all the time. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I live in the middle of five Targets, and they all pretty much suck. They only seem to be current when they're moving the department around, and then that's it until the next reset. You didn't get it then? You're ass out. This is very true. I used to work in the stockroom at a Target. You know how often we got WWE figures or Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse in? When there was a related movie coming out. That's it. Well, movie stuff does not sell very well, but there's a ton of stock coming in. WWE doesn't have any movies, so we only got 2 regular elite shipments for the entire year I worked there. We got HOF twice. Once was Series 4, then another shipment of Series 2, two years after it initially dropped. And unless I put it on a cart to go out, it never got out. Why? Because their stocking system is all electronic. You put out what the system tells you to put out. But WWE stuff was never listed to go out ever. I tested it to see how long it would take for a box of elites to go out. After 2 months I got tired of waiting and sent it out myself. Whoever runs distribution at these major chains is absolutely terrible at their jobs because they're all bad in multiple states I've lived in/been to. Marvel Legends is consistently sold out at Walmart unless it's a movie tie-in because collectors don't seem to want that. Every time a fresh case comes in, it's gone before the week is over. Does Walmart keep ordering more? No. Sorry for the rant. I just get frustrated by bad distribution. This is why I only shop online anymore, but with store exclusives I can't do that because they never stock them online and I can't find them in stores, so they flat out don't get my money. I want to give it to them, but they don't have anything for me to buy. |
