If you are in the Orlando area-- be sure to go to the HRC at Universal Studios and check out their sale.
It will be on through tomorrow.
We went today, arriving shortly after they opened the sale.
There are a few sale items in their regular store inside the regular HRC.
The BIG sale is in their concert area, around the corner -- side door. As people enter they are given a clear garbage bag.
Flashlights are almost a must, but there are BARGAINS!
HRC guitar pins -- $1 each! Even a nice framed set was $35. But we passed on the set.
Nice t's from $1! Most t-shirts were $5. NICE shirts were $15.
Great jackets, etc $20+.
LOTS of stuff.
The only downside....... some local has an Ebay business/store. Obviously not a well liked person as those in line were complaining about him, and knew him (too) well. I was told he has a friend in the upper corporate office, and has inside knowledge. From what I saw he gets a personal HRC employee helper, guarding his boxes and storage areas, and taking his pallets out to his vehicle.
He came in a boughts two pallets, taller than I, of merchandise in shipping cartons. I wonder if the merchandise he bought even hit the sale floor.
My guess is Ebay will be loaded with HRC items by now.
What irked me was one large shipping box the HRC staff guy was guarding for Greedy Gus was a box marked pin trading bags. (weep)
Glad I was able to buy what I did. But with buyers like him it wouldn't take long for everything to be gone.
Everyone else in line was the general public just buying for themselves and gifts.
