For Christmas, I’m trying to find some more blocks for my son. He received some mega bloks (the mini size) for his birthday and I have been able to find one size container in the stores but they are pretty pricey.
So, I’ve been searching eBay. It seems as though I’m not the only one trying to get those blocks. Whether you search for Lego, Tyco or Mega Bloks (they all work together for this particular size) the bids are getting up there.
Making them even more expensive is the shipping. Most things cost over $10.00 to ship and some even go up to $20.00 depending on how many blocks there are.
Things looked a little better when I just tried searching “Mega Blocks” instead of “Mega Bloks” (bloks is the correct spelling for the brand). I read about that trick once to search different spellings. But there are more irrelevant results to sift through.
Anyone have any other tips for finding those hidden “gems”?
