Saving readers from the actual details...my holiday was far from a happy one.

Apparently the best selling toy in their Cyber Monday promotion yesterday was the Lego NXT. :-)

so if you miss this special, check out eBay. I bought mine on eBay over a month ago and I havent checked prices since, but I imagine you can still find good deals... just dont wait too long!
I've been hesitant to say anything about eBay because of some bad experiences I've had in the past... I realize this is just me, but I've been burned before and didn't want to start trouble by recommending to a reader something that could come back to bite me.
As always, BUYER BEWARE.

I was about to buy an NXT kit last week and upon inspection I noticed that the seller's feedback score had 9 recent negative feedback comments. That NXT auction still had 8 bidders when I noticed it. None of them looked at the feedback before bidding. If you are using eBay auctions with PayPal protection is the safe way to go. Also sellers with a high number of sales, 100% feedback rating (or nearest), good recent feedback comments, and PayPal protection all should be in order.
Here is an example of the one I was referring to earlier....search for this auction number 170054755777 and look at the seller's feedback (that's 6 NXT kits that have been paid for and never received by the buyers!)
It's very easy to overlook some things while shopping...Just remember that when something looks to good to be true... it usually is!

Oh well, I didn't need it anyways since I already have one.

One person I bought from even included photos of the set with a little piece of cardboard with his name on it next to each taped seal: to show that he was selling unopened sets. But I did get two mints NXT sets from eBay sellers, one for $175 and one for a bit more, plus $15-20 for postage.
Anyway, enjoy!
I would really appreciate any help you could lend to Dad who loves Lego and has an 8year old who took the Lego robotics courses over the summer and also fell in love with the Mindstorms set.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon
