Consumers eager to get their hands on one of the big plasma TVs used at the Olympics are lining up today at a big warehouse off River Road in Delta as early as 1 a.m.
Public will get a chance to buy some of the Winter Olympic and Paralympic stuff used at the Games for bargain prices. There are 1,400 categories of goods for sale, and about 200,000 pieces overall, though some items have already been sold to Vanoc employees and volunteers, who have had first crack at the sale.
Aside from the TVs, there will also be computers, clothing, furniture, dishware and tools.
The stuff that has attracted most of the attention so far has been the TVs and electronics: A 42-inch Panasonic plasma TV, for example, goes for $499.99. The 26-inch TV is $199.99, while the Acer Travelmate 6592 laptop goes for $260.
The lineups start at 4:30-5 a.m., though organizers have said people wanting the TVs will likely start as early as 1 a.m. There are also some kitchen appliances and big-ticket furniture pieces.
Doors open at the Vanoc Main Distribution Centre at 7530 Hopcott Rd., in Delta at 9 a.m. Saturday. The doors open to the public at 9 a.m. Saturday and every day thereafter until all the items are sold.
You have to take the goods with you, and payment can be made by all major credit cards, debit and cash.
