I figured this day would come. Since the retailers started getting involved, the prices of these sales go up faster than gas prices. I can't say I blame them, but it kind of takes away from it all when the retailers are gouging. Man I miss the days when the Bruins had sole control of the sale and it wasn't a money grab. I was looking forward to this sale too. At least when PH ran it they minimally marked up the prices, but $200-500 for used skates and $100 for used Mitts is a hard pill to swallow. I don't mind the 10 item limit, at least that gives anyone a chance, but these are borderline Ebay prices. I dont imagine the ebayers will be coming to this one, not at these prices. I guess that gives the superfans and Collectors a shot.
There's always been a money grab. It's just at what stage of the process.If the teams sell cheap then the scum sucking Ebay whores buy it all and triple it. I just wish those who don't collect or use the stuff would go back to snaking hot wheels at walmart at all hours and leave the hockey gear alone. Rant over....kinda
