I just wanted to say first a big thank you to everyone who made welcome last week! I want to make a page or so of BLUES CLUES for my daughter since it is her fave show and I wanted to know if these sets i found on ebay are a good deal or not.Please take a look and tell me if you think the ones i found are worth it.
thanks piper
I always go to a couple of Internet stores and compare the prices before I buy. I just looked at Spiderman stickers, paper and diecuts at the LSS and the cost all together amounts to about the same as the set you are looking at. Figuring in transportation costs to pick up the item vs. shipping is the next step. For me a trip to a local LSS is about 50 miles round trip. Next step is - 'how bad do I want the item and can I find it all togegher anywhee else.' The last step is does the seller have anything else I am interested in and may be purchasing in the next couple of weeks - so I can combine shipping and save money or a trip to the LSS. Just my way of shopping ebay. Sandy
The first one is a buy it now so it's a set price for $12.50 divided by 4 is about $3 a LO. Four meaning it comes with 4 pages of theme paper assuming you'd use only that paper one could get 4 LO's. With some solid colored paper one could stretch it further. For a particular themed paper I would think it was a good deal.

I have to agree with sandy. But I'd put this item in your "watching" section of "my eBay" and then head to Hobby Lobby, Michaels, AC Moore, or your LSS and see what they have. Most of the time they are having a sale on stickers and paper and you will most likely pay less.
If not, ask the seller if she/he is firm on shipping. Sometimes I (as a seller) am willing to work with the buyer on shipping unless of course the price quoted is the cheapest.

Hi Piper, I just purchased some from Oriental Trading Co. Here is the link to the /blues clues item:
Watch the shipping at Oriental it's $6.95 for up to $30. I guess what the ladies are saying and a very good point made by them is to shop around first.

I too have purchased scrapbooking materials from Oriental Trading with very good results.
