With bells on! I've got my sleeping bag ready for the cold sidewalk outside FatBurger. Hopefully it doesnt rain too much.

italian_stallion21 · 11-20-2008, 12:51 PM

I got a bunch of stuff to pick up, hopefully the good stuff will still be there on Saturday.

Planning on it. Last year's sale was epic.

Just visited Santa Deacon at his Christmas grotto, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Heluka was helping deliver presents to the local soccer community. Just spent my total Christmas budget in 3 minutes Dam.

I checked out the Langley store today they have very little in the way of bargains most of the stuff was overpriced before the sale. Travelled all the way from Port Moody I got way better deals at SoccerExpress Xmas sale

knvb · 11-21-2008, 04:42 PM

Nothing is or was overpriced before the sale. Retail is what it is. If 40% to 90% off everything doesn't grab you, what would have? Too bad there wasn't anything you were looking for eveyone else has walked out with bags full.

Sometimes garbage bags, regular bags didn't cut it when certain sales exceeded $800 dollars. I'm sure they didn't find anything in the way of bargains.

**johnnybluenose** · 11-22-2008, 08:34 AM

Wow, that above post is a joke.

Picked up myself some good stuff on the cheap, great deals.

Our keeper walked out with a very stuffed garbage bag, I picked up boots and training pants...

This year kjohnsob was the wanker that bought nothing

vinnyd1 · 11-23-2008, 07:57 AM

I don't work for nor do I know anyone who works for soccerexpress, I bought 10 packs of soccer cards for my kids stocking stuffers at $1.50 per pack no discount. I bought an agility ladder reg price $60 discounted to $40 you can buy them on line for $30 plus shipping on ebay. I looked at their goalie gloves and again their retail price was too high I can buy the same gloves at sportscheck for $10 cheaper. They had $7.00 soccer ball no name brand I bought 6 size 5 soccer ball by Diadorra from able auctions for $7.50 each. I just thought the hype around the sale didn't live up to the actual sale.

Regs · 11-23-2008, 08:17 AM

Are you kidding me?

Ebay?

Able Auctions?

What's the going price on Craigslist?

Rangerforever · 11-23-2008, 04:52 PM

Sounds like my summer buy in KNVB for the Muckers last year...

Rangerforever · 11-23-2008, 04:58 PM

My kid's kangaroo leather Pumas were also over priced at $65...
Deacon saw me coming a mile away.

Also, all the Celtic gear was grossly expensive too.
I heard Dave's calling 1-800-Got-Junk now to remove it all as a result of zero sales.

Yes, the 3 in-a-row was the reason for the inflation on this year's prices......

Just think what it will be next year after 4 in-a-row.
