    No one else was there. A dude with a floor buffer terrified my daughter and she begged to leave. We left empty handed.

    I know I should have checked the list of participating stores but since I have gone to HW events at this store, just assumed it was happening here as usual but not this time. Actually nobody was in the store except bored employees and a couple of them looked hungover.

    And why did I ebay a truck? Because Kmart's website didn't actually work when I placed my order. They never charged my paypal or sent a receipt.

    Rage.

    Damn Adam, after what you had posted on the first page about your store I scooped up a couple extra Datsuns with you in mind.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    There was only one old fellow there besides myself at my local K-Mart. Looked to be a single main case and 5 of the smaller cases. The only TH there was a few Loop Coupes, I grabbed one, he got the rest. And that's all he was interested in. Nice old guy, took my number for trading. Also, no Supers at all. Otherwise, I had pick of the litter. I got all of the regular cars I cared to have, except for the yellow 2000 GT, which there was none of at all.

    Seriously? With all your buds on this forum why would you buy one? Home boi hook ups are here!! Between me and Eric we have you covered easy. I have 4 Kmarts in my area, I just picked the wrong one this time. I bought extra though, so let us know what you want, we can find it.

    If he ONLY took the Treasure Hunts he is a Flea Market scalper, or Ebay seller, a collector would never pass up exclusive color variations like the Blue Datsun or the White BMW.

    Yup^^^. There were a few people this morning talking about selling, one lady bragging about how well she's done selling them. Funny part, her ticket number didn't get called.
    But now I've met the local competition and know why I can't find much based on what I saw and heard. Two of the guys were the same guys I saw camped out at Walmart during the ammo shortage, definitely scalpers.
