@@mjj8560 I mean, 4000 people + collected $800 in store credit, that's 3.2 mil just in store credit + all the costs for logistics and advertisement would be putting them over 4 mil easily, and what people fail to realise is that McKay's is in the business of selling pre owned goods, and a good portion of that 4000 people will be re sellers, that then post those items on Facebook or other marketplaces or online on eBay etc, taking customers that may have purchased at McKay's. So they basically shot themselves in the foot. Yeah they would have received a lot of publicity from the whole thing, and people would have made extra purchases while at the store, but to the tune of 4mil plus? I don't think so
@@LachlanFarah They didn't pay 3.2 mil for the items that people will be using the store credit for. I am not sure what margins this store runs on, but I am sure they didn't pay more than 50% of the item value, so that would cut their cost to 1.6 Mil for the store credits. Still a crazy promotion!
I found a JAG coin series dvd set at a St Vinnie's for $15 because it had been sitting there for so long, the price had dropped and dropped and I used one of their %20 off donation coupons to drop it another three bucks... so $12 for a $132.22 set on Amazon, such an awesome find....it's in my personal collection and I sold my single season sets so it probably actually made me money to buy the set
@@adamdurling9671 yeah mine didnt have the coin either, that's why I actually had to come back the next day to grab it cause I wasn't sure what they went for and If the coin was gonna be okay without. It still looks pretty in the collection. A very nice sale for you, congrats!!
Great Video!
Man you are the legend
Goat

The PS1 pickups were awesome dude, I just picked up like 40 ps1 games from a garage sale and it has awoken something in me as a collector lol
At 21:50 what cleaning solution did you use to clean the yellowing?
Great video!
McKay’s stores look awesome! I live in Connecticut- no McKay’s here😢 wish there were!
Bro that McDonalds Inspector Gadget was so cool to me growing up
The masters of the universe figures are a great score.
How much did you spend on gas for this trip? Just curious.
Oh dude, McKay's got rinsed hard, I bet they regret that decision🤣🤣

@@adamdurling9671 yes but if sold at the sticker price that is expected revenue lost, cost would be ofcourse likely 20% - 30% of that

I just sold that set recently on eBay WITHOUT the coin for $100.

@@bnchile1 Yeah when I looked at comps I didn't realize the coin was missing until I went to list it, but luckily it still held its value.
Stephen king first editions pay my bills 😂 if you find them pick them up that firestarter even not first is still a great find
NICE!
❤😊😊😊
I'm confused..they gave you the store credit before going to the final location?
Yeah because they didn’t expect so many people to show up and it take 2+ hours at each stop.
I hate store it is soooo over price wow
