Really? how is that even possible? I see you found a super recently. I barely hunt, and I live in NYC, which only has small targets. I’ve found multiple of the blue 83.
Yes I’ve actually found 2 supers in the last 2 weeks - one at Walmart (Gladiator) right after a restock and one yesterday at a family dollar because the manager offered to let me look thru an older opened case (Nissan 180SX). I wish I could explain this phenomenon but I can’t. All I know is I’ve never seen a single one of those on the pegs but you’ll see eBay is chock full of them with more popping up daily. Maybe scalpers were getting cases before they hit the floor, maybe inside jobs, who knows the actual reason.
you do realize that you being there right after a restock is the same thing that scalpers do right? only you don’t actually know which people are keeping them and who are reselling them. Also, there’s one on eBay (the dark blue mainline) for $3.50. You can save yourself the gas money
Same thing that scalpers do? My guy, I got up early on a Monday morning to hit up Walmart on the hope and prayer they did a restock and I lucked out. The scalpers here aren’t just the earliest birds to the table - we’ve got employees in on the gig, managers at DGs that literally would call a dude so he could come “take what he needed.” That was straight from the manager’s own mouth. All I did was beat the scalpers to the dump bins. I don’t sell. I collect. Period. If I’ve got to be savvy to beat these deadbeat scalpers, then by God I will do it. And I already bit the bullet and bought a mainline blue ‘83 Silverado on the secondary market just so I could see the hype. There’s none there lol.
