Chronicle Collectibles 1:5 Scale Tyrannosaurus Rex Maquette $3,999.99

Sideshow.com
Normal price $4,500.00
Sale price $3,999.99 + free shipping on something so big and heavy, it come on pallet with freight delivery.

If you wanted this monster, now is the time. Its just to big for me, no place to put it.

They were $2400 shipped on ebay when CC was blowing them out. Strange thing, if you click on any of their past auctions, it says page not found. I thought eBay always kept past auctions visible for at least longer than a couple of months.

They closed their account, thus the history of sales is gone, unless you bought from them.

here is their history link:
https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_p...26.m2531.l4585

I believe they were dumping items with 4 or 5 different ebay accounts.

Those ultra low prices were for ones with issues, not new ones.

That is a decent sale for the Sideshow ones, but not great. They were $4500 shipped from CC without tax, and now SS adds tax so it ends up not that much different.

These items are going to get harder and harder to find New in Box. Only 100.

$2,400.00 shipped was a deal.

Does Sideshow have a warehouse or showroom in your state, that allows them to charge state sales tax?

I have never seen tax add to any of my orders, but I am Florida. Or is this just for super high priced items?

thanks

When is the last time you ordered from them? They charge sales tax in any state now after that new law was passed.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That is strange. I have ordered 17 items from Sideshow over the years. Never any tax.

The last time I ordered from sideshow. since previous post, was 12/3/2020.

The Damtoys #906457 Giganotosaurus which had been on Pre-Order for a long time is now available at sideshow. Just ordered one.

No tax charged on either order, Florida Resident? Not sure.

With Amazon, they never charged Florida sales tax on orders until they opened a distribution center in the state, then they started charging the sales tax.

Here are the latest 2 redacted copies of receipts.

67L88Stingray,

Your in Ohio,

The only thing I can think of is that, Sideshow has a Sideshow Retail Store in Ohio, none in Florida.

That extra 5-6% adds up.
