Is there anyone who is looking for incans?
I have some left over. Different types / colors. White white and green wire ones. Some with 100 count other with 200 or 400 count.
If there is interest I can attempt to take an inventory of what I don't need and post it accordingly. Local people would be easiest just for shipping costs etc. but all are welcome...
Let me know of any interest and we can go from there?

Now you break out the goodies ;)
How are your local stores doing? Was in one Walmart today and the stock was already so low on lights that I wonder if trips to find clearance goodies will even be worth the gas.
-
lol sorry.... I just came to a realization last night that I won't need these lights and am converting some others over to LED's due to watching my lights in the house dim in synch with the music. Working on finding lights to help replace some of the incans now.
Local stores? Slim pickings! I know my K-Mart is out of certain ones. My Wal-Mart has had a poor selection the entire time this year so far. Home Depot well they don't have a big selection to begin with either. And my Lowes well they were the victim of downsizing so I do not have that store here any more as they closed November 12 or 13th. Big Lots might be my only saving grace but I have to check and see what they still have left.

I may have some clear LED's I won't be using this year. I should known in the next day or so if I need them or not.
-
Are you doing strictly LED's then?
I finally got my arches done. 4 of 'em. It was close though... :) I did give up on the spiral tree this year though. Just couldn't get it laid out correctly.

Only thing I have that is not LED is my candy canes, arches and mega tree as I could not find any solid colored LED strands on clearance last year in a size or bulb type that I wanted for the project. I would probably say I'm 50/50 this year maybe?
Hoping to redo the tree next year in LED.
-
do you have solid colors? or are they multi or clear?
-
I do have two boxes of red incans. I think they are 200 bulbs each. I'll have to double check though.
-
The only place I have found that has solid red and green LED is Walgreens. Lowes and Home depot only had blue ,white and multi color. The supply is running low also, dont see much for after christmas sales.

Agreed, I think they really cut back their orders this year.
Though the prices for the LED not marked down are pretty horrible. Might as well save your money pay a few more bucks and get the commercial grade ones from various web vendors.
-
is it just me, or does it seem like the stores have a lot of surplus one year, so they cut back the next, only to run out, then have too much the following year. it seems like it's an every other year thing. and we're in the skimped year?

Big lots has incandescent in red, blue, & green. Strands of 140 bulbs for 4.99, which is cheaper than Home Depot, Lowe's, Kmart, Walmart, and Walgreens in my area.

So probably in reality two strands of 70 combined then? Still pricey for $5 for incandescent lights considering you get them for like < $1 dollar on clearance if they have any then :)
-
Lowe's is already putting a few of their airblowns on "clearance" and it's not even December yet. Now they are a far cry from 50% off but the clearanc tags do tend to motivate people to buy them NOW. I think that the days of the big clearance sales on lights are gone forever.

It was difficult enough finding them now. I had to unstack almost every case of incandescent 140 lights just to find eight boxes of green, four red and four blue. Actually, found plenty of the red. Green were much more difficult and I bought out the blue.
Hoping for a sale to get an adjustment

What's their policy on adjustments? Price adjustment based on lower price within 30 days of sale or something?
-
So safe to assume no one is interested then?
-
Why would anyone be interested when they have no idea what you have. If you are serious about selling them then you need to take that inventory and tell us what you have and what you want for them.

I understand I need to do an inventory. But no one is showing interest. Everyone would rather discuss purchasing elsewhere in my thread. So why would I go through all that work for nothing?
Or am I wrong here? Cuz I don't think I am.

I would agree that icans are not the must have item this late in the year like LED's but all that means is that you have to create some interest. Giving a very vague description of what you might have if you take the time to look with no pricing or quantities of any kind does little to peak any interest. If you really want to sell them then do the work. Take the inventory, determine what you want to sell and what you want for them and post it in a new thread for people to see. When people see specifics, that can create ideas in their heads and if the price is right, they buy. I just bought a bunch of white 100's with white strings a few months ago from a member here because they listed exactly what they had and how much they wanted and after reading the description I had a specific use for them and the price was good so I bought.

O.K. Let's try this again. I understand I need to do the work and have no problem with it. I was putting a feeler out there to see if anyone needed anything. It is late in the year and LED's seem to be the thing this year.
This weekend I'll have more time to do the pics and inventory and pricing.

I'm with tbone. October I bought about 20-25 strings of 300 count icicles from a member.

He had what he had for sale and the price. I have been watching this but did not see anything other then some lights for sale? I will be watching for your inventory and price.
Thank You
Just interested............

I'd love to buy leds, but I can't afford them. I just spent $80+ tax for a total of 2240 bulbs. That would have run me $252+ tax for the same bulb count mini LEDs, and i wouldn't have gotten solid color strands, which was key for me. It's true that inventory counts ( yes i know you're working on them) will get the mind going. Personally, i have to get what i have out before buying more ( wife's rule, which makes sense) and i have other stuff to prep for ( birthday party), but I'll still dream and if they don't vanish maybe I'll buy :)

I think that this thread has gone off topic. It will be locked.
A new post can be opened when the poster is ready.
