These folks have NEVER posted a message AT ALL.
Never. Why join a site only to NEVER post?

.....and then there's a bunch of guys that only posted once ow twice - and even then it was only in the trades section.

Heck, I know some of the above folks and some others that only posted once or twice...... can't figure it out.

So last year we (Bounty Hunter Toys) were nominated as one of the best toy stores in Hamilton. It doesn't really mean anything since it's just in the local paper, but it was cool to be nominated, and we did get a HELL of alot of collections in because of it.

Anyway, this year the Spectator (the local paper) is allowing folks to nominate people ONLINE.

So umm???..... Who wants to help?!

I won't lie, I'd LOVE to be nominated for it a 2nd year in a row! We were up against Toys R Us and Walmart - we beat Walmart, but eventually lost out to that damn giraffe. (TRU).

The link to do the nominating is here:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=63175546876

I really don't 'expect' everyone to nominate for us. Heck, I'm sure a few will vote for TRU just to spite us. But even if it wasn't my store, I'd still be rooting for a 'little' guy in the hobby since the big guys obviously don't care about the collector or even support the lines like us little guys try to!

oops..... got off on a tangent there.... heh heh.

Bottom line, I'd love to be nominated again, and I'm asking for all of your help.
If you click that link above, you'll be required to enter in some of your information, name, mailing addy, phone #, etc. They always give away a prize when the 'official' nominations come out, and since they're allowing anyone - ANYWHERE in the world to participate, you could end up with some extra cash from them just for helping out!
(More money to buy more Joes!)

Please consider it guys, it'll take a few seconds of your time, and it would mean the world to me...... heck, if we make it in, I'll even give my fellow Joes a 'nice' discount on our site! ;-)
Thanks,
Mike

PS - Feel free to repost anywhere! ;-)

PPS - If we're nominated - AND win, maybe it'll wake up Hasbro Canada to actually start sending stuff up here!

TRU: What the? We lost?.... to a small shop?
WM: they have toys - we don't.
TRU: Damn..... gotta start carrying more stuff!

We have 62 members currently, and over half of them have NEVER posted?

Why not?
Are you ?

I know why 'some' folks aren't posting that joined here, but what about the rest?

Just curious, I know of a few on the board that 'had' DirecTV.....
If you're without it, or better still - HAVE IT, then shoot me a PM.

I may have some news for you.

This message is going to be deleted soon - for obvious reasons.

I'd normally post a description, but this is worth just clicking.
Read the description the guy leaves..... that's the best part!

Firstly, if you have no clue what this is about, please read the thread located here :

Now onto my 'new' post:

I was awoken today by my Mother phoning me at 7am.
She 'HAD' to tell me about an article that was in the paper today.

"Man must repay bank $130,000.00 in fraud case"

Basically, the main suspect in my store being robbed is the 'man' the article is about!
I called the cops handling my robbery today and asked if THIS article was the reason they 'couldn't' arrest him. (Since they had enough on him).
I was told back then that he was already 'involved' in something of a more important nature......

Anyway, the Basic run-around answer after talking to the officer that handled our robbery......... YES.
$130,000.00 CND is a tad more important than my $17,000.00 in toys.

...even I have to agree with that.

Canadian law sucks at times.......

If you're interested in reading the write up on it, a customer was kind enough to scan it and email it to me - so I'm nice enough to post it on my site for others to see.

Needless to say, my toys are now 100% gone... but this does cheer me up a tad.
