Dirt Cheap Toys
"Dirt Cheap" is the actual store name. They purchase salvage lots from insurance companies, so you find merchandise ranging from slight smoke smell to water damage, to broken to nothing wrong at all.
Dirt Cheap sells the merchandise in their stores at discounts. The pricing usually starts at 40% off the retail sticker and, as it sits on the shelf, the discount increases over time in 10% increments until its 90% off.
The fun part is looking at new stock when it arrives and deciding what you want to go ahead and get at 40% off and then watching the remainder and seeing if things you want will still be there when it reaches higher discounts.
The only caveat is to watch the retail pricing. A lot of times the merchandiise has the original stickers on it so you know whether it was salvaged from Wal-Mart, etc. If there are no original store stickers, Dirt Cheap assigns their own "retail price" which can be so high that the initial discount doesn't save you any money at all.
Dirt Cheap has been a fantastic source for toys over the years. We've purchased much of what is shown in the Paprihaven stream at very deep discounts.
It's definitely NOT a MIB store. But for people like us who are going to remove the toys from the packaging and utilize them anyway, it's very, very good.
