Lol it's just $5 sales. Sometimes big markdowns, not that big tho lol Oh like for Funko and random stuff like that? I'm sure something cool will get marked down eventually. You can go in to the stores or they do it for items on the website too. $5 tshirts aren't bad. Arun on here got a black series old man Luke Skywalker for $5 one week.

Damn those are some good deals.
I was tempted to get into ML and Black Series before but I can only afford one $30 per figure habit!
If a Blsck Series Mandalorian with the souped up armor comes out I might be tempted...ufff.

I joined and participated in a live Facebook auction last night. Cool experience. The high amount of lag though had my bids not go through so I didn't get Legends Steamboat or Legends Pillman. Someone got Steamboat for $25!
Cool experience but I won't be participating again due to the technical issues. Here were some notable sales I can remember. American Made Hogan went for $40 on only one bid. Macho King RSC Savage without his robe went for $68. Hall of Champions New Age Outlaws went for $75 for both. E30 LOD went for $72 (were missing their gauntlets). Pink and black Bret went for $100 DM Shawn Michaels went for $80 DM Austin went for $88 and Triple H went for $110. RSC Edge went for $80. Legends Pillman and Bulldog went for around $50 each (despite my higher bids). RSC unmasked Kane went for $50. Legends Texas Tornado went for $87. Legends Tag Teams Bushwhackers went for $50. E16 Diesel went for $40. E69 Ricochet went for $20 on one bid. Legends Bam Bam went for $50. Elite Dudley Boyz went for $60. Matty Collector Bundy without shirt went for around $50. E1 CM Punk went for around $75.
The main even was the Legends Tag Teams Rockers but I didn't stick around to see how much they went for. These were all loose and most were complete. All in good condition.

Sounds like a cool way to sell stuff despite the lag. The most shocking thing to me was no one bidding on E16 Diesel. Only one bid. I guess the HOF really put a ding in its value. Kane went for much lower than I expected too. The most annoying aspect though, besides the lag, was that people were bidding in $1 increments. Made everything very slow. Tornado started at $50 and I had to sit and wait as it got up to $87, one dollar at a time.

It was through a live chat, through a group (not just public). Mike Pepe, who runs the CWF store and Facebook page was putting it on after he had purchased a lot. There was around 32-33 people in the chat. You typed your bid out until it got too high for you, then you'd have to say "out" because he was bucking the time limit if the item was hot. Giving those in on it time to respond to new bids. It was inconsistent though. Time would run out and I'm looking at my screen that has 2 or 3 higher bids but it was lagging on his end. Sometimes he'd stop and bring the previous item back out when he noticed. Sometimes he'd just move on. EDIT: not just a live chat, he "went live" with a video. So I guess that set up when you can watch a live video and comment in real-time. He mentioned this was his 5th time doing it, but my first time participating or knowing about it.

Oh thats pretty cool. I remember Mike. Used to buy from him ages ago and I remember getting Basic Skip Sheffield, E11 Punk, and some others from him back when they first came out. Not going to pay what hes charging nowadays.

My local Walmart near me won't get any new Elites in. Back in October I talked to a friend I know there and he said that it looks like October new stuff was going to come in. Then November, then December.
So I finally saw him a week or so ago and asked him about it. He said because of these *he points at the Strowman, Balor and Styles Top Picks Elites that won't sell* they can't bring in any new figures like that because these are still taking up shelf life.
I tried to explain to him how these figures are of the same 3 guys, and that they probably won't sell. He understood what I was talking about, but said nothing can happen until they go. Suffice to say, I gave up looking at the toy section of my local Walmart now.
Also, what is up with our Amazon.ca site for WWE figures?? About a month ago, we had like 26 or so pages of WWE figures, we are now down to 13 pages of figures, with nothing new being added there either.

His store charges a ridiculous $20 flat shipping fee no matter where you live, but when you buy directly from him via Facebook he seems much more reasonable. It's strange. I've only bought from him a handful of times though. He's kind of a last resort.

Time to buy all the remaining stock with your credit cards, then return them all to walmart for a refund after they order more.

Was hoping he had Epic Moments Hardyz😂

They need to start putting stuff on clearance but they obviously dont want to take a loss on each item. Its lame too because elites most of the time at Walmart in the US are on sale. I remember a couple months ago finding E69 for $15.88. Even after conversion that's still so much cheaper. Also that FB auction thing sounds whack now that you explain it lol. I'm sorry you had to sit through that...I would have lost my mind. As for Amazon who knows what's going on there. The few new figures we get are for more than retail but are shipped and sold by Amazon. I guess TRU is our best bet as of right now.

Forgot to mention that him and guys like him are probably why we can't find anything new in the stores and are expected to pay $40 and up for figures.

Forgot to mention that him and guys like him are probably why we can't find anything new in the stores and are expected to pay $40 and up for figures. I worked at TRU for just under 5 years from 2009 to 2014. During my time there, we would see tons of older men lining up early, people calling in asking for the days when trucks would be dropping off shipments, you name it. You could point a scalper out a mile away. It was sad at times too, even seeing grown *** men throw fits because we wouldn't sell them more than one of something or of something wasn't in stock. The crummy thing is there's nothing that stores will do because they're just there to sell. Some Managers may limit certain items to 1 per customer but that's quite rare and generally only applies to big ticket items like Lego sets and Transformers. I do not condone scalping at all. It's one thing to have an item for a long time and decide to sell it. It's another thing to post brand new stuff on Craigslist, Ebay, etc. For inflated prices. Unfortunately there are no laws against it and there likely never will be. It's up to the diligence of all the various collector communities to simply refuse to buy from people like that. It's so ridiculous.

I've looked on that CWF store a few times, not worth buying from him.
Went to Wal Mart and they had nothing, the Wal Marts a in my area suck, they rarely get anything new in.
