Woolworths Unopened Boxes of cards

[krustyid]

How are people selling brand new Unopened boxes of Woolworths cards on Ebay

This happened last time the cards were out.

The public and paying Woolies customers cannot physically buy a unopened box from Woolworths or anywhere legally.

Doesn't someone other than myself think that they are being stolen, possibly before they hit the stores...IE the loading docks.

I have rang woolworths head office and they don't seem to care.

One of the reasons they ran out last time, was because thousands upon thousands of UNOPENED BOXES were being

sold on bay.

C'mon Woolies!!!

People like me have to spend $20 to get a few cards, and somehow people across Australia have Full Complete Unopened boxes.

If they aren't being stolen, then where, other than ebay, can we buy a full box????

i'm not taking the collection of these cards seriously...

I'm taking the theft of goods, seriously.

If someone can suggest any other way these people get these boxes of cards.....suggest away

...please......... the suggestion that the company gave them boxes upon boxes is not believable

Lol I find it more unbelievable (and s bi funny - sorry) that you are making accusations left right and centre regarding stolen goods - when the company itself does not appear to be concerned at all.

The printers don't just print the exact number of cards that Woolworths require.  There would be print over-runs for a start.

A friend of mine works at Woolies and they get heaps for free. She pretty much grabs whatever she wants. Every kid at her sons school now has hundreds of them. He hands them out every day.

I threw out about 50 of them this morning when I was cleaning up. They are all over my house and drive me insane.

I know how you feel... my 3 yr old doesn't have many cards and I feel like such a failure as a parent...

some places have accounts set up with Woolworths (or Coles) to get their produce for things such as functions, nursing homes,,,,,

big orders,,,, a few a week.....

they get given a couple of boxes of the cards in their orders when they are delivered.

I wish Woolies had never started these cards.   They've added about 10,000

or so listings to the category and I have to trawl through all the muck to find

something worth buying  (read something someone doesn't know the value of)

It's my very own First World Problem

*lists some woolies cards*

OK.  Just did a re-check.  I lied.  It's added an extra 3000 listings to the category.

Thing is, Woolworths printed cards back in the 60's & 70's.  These are the ones

collectors want.  Not the new rubbish.  The new rubbish has to wait for a whole

new generation in 50 years to be worth anything.

Ah,  I remember, not so long ago, when the woolies category had 20 - 30 listings.

Those were the days, my friend...oh,yes, those were the days

Sorry, mind wandering.
