Verified Trader,
I wish McDonald's would do this. I like their coffee better and mmmm ... McGriddles.
I'll be doing the same thing. We'll be hosting a trade night in an empty store in the mall probably the first weekend in October. Previous nights had up to 40 people swapping. I ask each person to donate a toonie and we donate it to the local women's and children's shelter.
The first year we killed in binders and pages, but that dropped off dramatically when Tim Hortons released their own binders (even though they SUCKED). We still do very well with singles and inserts, though, and it did allow us to convert some of the Timmies folks into semi-regulars.
As someone mentioned earlier, one of the big issues is there is really nothing comparable to THs or CT that has the same type of hits at the same price point. Peoples eyes cross when they read the pack pricing on Black Diamond or even Ice, and they are not going to make that jump.
Interesting CT sidenote: CT makes very little on those packs, which is why they've not blown them out. One of the stores in my area, though, messed up and put them out for like $.50 and a customer of mine grabbed everything they had left (which was like two boxes). CT honours prices from store to store also, but when he went to another store, he got shut down aside from a few packs.
Just found this on the preregistration page:
