COLES Little Shop Mini Collectables

[collect247]

I'm not sure if any of you have collected those Coles mini collectables but I did and it cost $30 of spending in Coles for you to receive 1 mini lol.

So it cost me over $900 to get the whole set and case and now I see people selling the whole set for around $40 WTH.

Do you think these people work for Coles and ended up getting a freebie or along those lines lol.

You didn’t spend $900 on minis, you spent $900 on food, the minis were free.

[collect247]

I know that but it cost bloody $900 worth of food just to collect 30 minis so why would anyone sell them for $40?

And yes I know it doesn't work the way I'd like it to lol but I'm a lit bit crazy lol.

For some reason I only see it as 30 minis = $900 haha

If they were sitting on the shelf at coles, at $30 each, would you have purchased one.  If yes, then you are more than just a little bit crazy.  $30 for a 5cent piece of plastic?

[collect247]

Haha no I wouldn't but that little piece of plastic in the end did take spending $900 to receive them and they sold out completely at Coles.

The difference is that I wouldn't have spent $900 on groceries so fast if I didn't have my arm twisted lol to get those little plastic minis.

I wouldn't be surprised if the staff of the plastic and printing companies got the left overs as well as Coles staff and sold them here.

Some sellers had thousands of each kind.

They were a real trap.

I purchased some on eBay to collect for someone else and ended up with them.

So now selling for much less than I bought them for.  (never again)

[collect247]

They have depreciated in value pretty quickly thus also my disappointment in how much it took dollar wise to collect them,also never again.

I thought that they might have been worth while collecting because when I collected the woolies stickers they ended up fetching alot of money so I'd thought hey if stickers are the flavour of the month then surely these plastic toys would be as well,wishful thinking lol.

I've got to stop seeing all those $$$$ signs with regards to these things and just stick to what I know best,but hey anything is worth trying right.

Look at it from the perspective that you spent $900 on food and got the collectables for free and they are now worth $40.  So you are $40 in front.

On the other hand you could have spent the same $900 at Woolies and got only groceries!

... $900 at Woolies and got only groceries... and at least $4.50 in redeemable for goods points. Assuming no promos, which are fairly regular.
