johnny Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 my nieces and nephew either want things that are too expensive (like a switch, but apparently they all want their own so that ludicrous), parents don't want them to have (drumset), or super in demand toys that are sold out. So they're getting a gift card, soccer stuff, and some candy from their uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got all the grandparents looking for it and told them not to buy at that price. *I've been expressly forbidden from paying that much above retail. I did some quick digging through a ton of canadian retailers on this and in the process found this article from the end of september. You're pretty much boned on this one.

Fizzzzle Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 There isn't anyone I buy gifts for that can't just buy things for themselves.

mclumber1 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 If you are going to buy a new car, I would recommend ordering one, and not just buying one off the lot. There is less of a chance of a steep markup, as long as you are willing to wait a few months to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost guarantee you this is because they've decided its better to put they're limited supplies into SUV/Trucks which make them more money and reduce their car production, not because it actually costs more to buy anything. Edit: Yup, quick look at car maker websites and you literally have 1 or 2 car options and completely gutted their compact options, while Truck/SUV lineups are still complete, lol.
