Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

Oh shit, I just remembered something about one of my intercept attempts. It was delivered to the buyer, but we worked it out he decided to keep the item. But an overzealous USPS employee went back multiple times to his house to try to retrieve the package. The guy called me and I had to step in to call off his local PO.

If he managed to get a successful USPS Intercept and returned to him, then he will get a charge from USPS for the return shipping. This guy manages to screw himself at every turn.

If anyone ever needs to, look up USPS Intercept on Google. It will take you to the appropriate page on USPS.com. I've tried it with more fails than successes. I guess the mail sorters don't pay much attention for flagged packages.

I actually didn't know USPS offered an intercept service lol I wonder if that's what he did and they just didn't cancel it out. It still says "in transit to next destination" right next to "USPS is in possession." If it were moving I'd have had it Tuesday or Wednesday and someone on a budget would have scored a hell of a deal by today lol
 
So I had the toy show today, and did pretty damn well.

I came home with 4 empty rubber maids and 7 empty paper boxes.

I had one guy come through 3 times to double check what was in my bins, and all told, he spent close to $800 on huge bundles of $5 and $10 figures, and a few larger group bundles of figures I had made myself to sell.

I sold 4 of my Hot Toys figures and 3 of the Mezco One:12 figures I brought.

Plenty of other sales through the day, and it was never really dead at my booth. I had a great location which helped, and I had some photo prints hanging to draw people in.

All told, a very successful day, and the next step in my organizing it to go through all my diorama supply stuff to see what is trash, donation and kept.

There's another show in November, so I have time to figure out what else I may want to sell next.

That's incredible! Nice work, good solid day there. I'm lucky if I clear a grand at my shows, they're small so less traffic but at least I don't have a vendor's tax. At least, not one that I'm aware of lol
 
The thickened plot has had a handful of cornstarch thrown in because it's now even thicker! (that's an old cooking trick if you didn't know...gravy too thin? Add corn starch. Yall probably knew that though, you handsome intelligent bastards)

The Iron Man has arrived at my local post office, I will get him later today. I will also be taking video as I open it. The case is "on hold" at eBay until the 17th, I've been told over the phone this is a formality. We'll see lol But I've had two reps tell me that I'm clearly in the right and that I will not have to refund this dude. But, the big update, is Iron Man has come home :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: And this dude is not getting it back.
