I was wandering around Gt Yarmouth Saturday with SWMBO looking for a new dining table when we wandered into TK Maxx. I know some people take the p*** out of it, but I always find some little gem tucked away amongst the tat in there; previously it has been 1:50 scale trucks which flew out of Ebay like nothing on earth, an Iron Maiden pool cue which went to the USA for well over what I paid, a Batman Gold car set which shifted well, a James Bond DB5 in silver which has gone on and this time two possible keepers, a 1:43 Simca 1100 for £1 and a 1:24 Fiat Arbarth Mirafiori Rally car kit for £5! Also on display were some 1:18 Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift cars, the Monte Carlo and the Z350 for all of £8 each..... Its always worth having a rummage in there!

i used to work there. trust me, loads of ppl raid that place for ebay, then jst return/exchange what doesn't sell, lol. women are the worst - buying clearance tat, just coz its a good label, then selling for twice the price on ebay!
my best purchase was a 3/4 length ben sherman suede jacket for £6 that someone returned after keeping it in their wardrobe for 6 months and not wearing it :-)
maplins can also be a good place for this - u can even arrange a discount if u buy in bulk ;-)

Good idea to pick up bargains and sell on but wandering around just looking for stuff is not my idea of fun.
I know what I want, I go to a shop I know has it, buy it and get out, or even better order it on the internet and have it delivered.

I prefer that.... but SWMBO was on a 'shopping mission' so I just tagged along, trying not to look too bored! ;D |

as I follow the story, passwords were breached due to insecure wireless in store and 10 million records were downloaded form the customer database by hackers. TKX (the holding company) was also in breach because they were holding onto customers credit card details far longer than their agrement with the credit card operators say they should. If theyhad been deleting card details those 10 million customers may have only been 1 million. They recently settled out of court for $41 million in damages to the banks.
The breach was in the US head office and should only affect US customers.
