I can understand having a garage sale - but by whose request - creditors is my guess - they want every last nickel out of the operation....
but sorry, not going to wisconsin just for an overpriced sale.

There are so many reasons they could have done what they are doing. Who are we to say they are doing it incorrectly? Again, it's their stuff, they can do whatever they please with it. If they don't make they money they need the first time, it's their right to continue to sell it as they wish. You can either buy it, or not. No loss to you.  I agree that there are many reasons for their approach, and I agree that they can do whatever they like. I just think it's incongruous to say EVERYTHING MUST GO in one breath and then be so seemingly restrictive in your sales hours. And hey-- maybe that's actually plenty of time to get in the buyers they need. I just know that those hours would not get me in as a shopper. |

Rock bottom prices are not 30% off.
I just wish they'd go away.

I like how employees are selling the manufacturers bribes I don't know what this means. Can you explain? Really. I would like to know what that means too, because your post sound very inflammatory and libelous! Do you really know that they took bribes? bribes for what? Seriously? Your second post is just as bad as the first!!! I get that people are still mad and cannot seem to get over 2peas but gosh, can we all just let it go already?  Maybe this will help some Scrappers out who do go to the sale that wouldn't other wise be able to afford it! Peas was not all bad for all 15 years and quite frankly, the members there made it what it ended up becoming. |

It is sad to read so many that are being negative about this sale and making assumptions into their creditors and bribes. We don't know any of this.
Why can't they just have a sale whenever they want. How they want?
When LSS's went out of business around here, they had the sales in the store and then continued them in the owners garage because they ended their lease and had to move out!
I just find it extremely unkind to make assumptions on their finances because we don't know--anything that had been posted was just an assumption with no hard verifiable facts.
I was so hoping that this message board was going to be different!

LOL! I got the email too. I'm not really going to drive halfway across the country for scrapbooking stuff. Best of luck to them. And I won't cross the Atlantic! Joining you- I won't be flying in from Johannesburg...  |

Ugh. This going out of business is like the song that never end Damn you! Now I've got that stupid song running in a continuous loop in my brain!  ohh that's just not nice!!  but the same thing ran through my head. I still was shaking my head at the prices when they announced the closing. A little ridiculous. And they wonder why they still have 'stuff'. I know they haven't had Bazzill cardstock in at least five years. What on earth could be left?  |

Sorry but samples aren't bribes. I'm annoyed at them too but that seems out of left field.

And I won't cross the Atlantic! Joining you- I won't be flying in from Johannesburg... Just out of curiosity I googled to see how long it would take me to get there from Australia - 22+ hours by plane. Guess I won't be making it either. |

I'm not angry about 2 Peas and I wish them the best. No one sets out to fail in a business. It must be both professionally and personally a blow to the people who own it. I don't know anything about business, but I can't help but think about the people involved and how I would feel about my business failing.
Eta: I don't know anyone in that business and haven't ever worked for them.

They are getting exactly what they deserved. They ran a shit business and they can't even get their closing right. Morons. All around.

It would probably help a lot, if they gave any idea of the discount offered. No way would I drive there for 30% off.

When the initial closure e-mail was sent, I unsubscribed from correspondence, deleted the app, copied bookmarked layouts into a MS Word file, removed it as a favorite from my computer, & have not visited the site again. Yet, I still receive emails, including garage sale postings intended for locals despite living over 900 miles away! IMHO the owners of this &/or any other active/failed business may sell/liquidate inventory in any legal way they choose. However, I'm puzzled by the need for extended online sales, multiple garage sales, etc.. Since the store had likely not been stocked with $16K of inventory for years, I suspect the sale consists mostly of "things from employees never sold on the site," meaning unused, outdated scrap/stamp supplies accumulated over the years in the owner's personal scrap room! Good riddance & best wishes...

I'm over the demise of 2Peas. The store has closed, the boards are gone, and I couldn't care less how they sell the inventory. I don't live near them and have unsubscribed from their emails. Stores close, things end, it's a done deal for me.
I'm here and enjoying having this place to read all your witty, strange, laugh-out-loud, informative posts!  |

I have no issue with them having sales or not. I just wonder when it isn't worth the effort. I'm thinking that they are right on the bubble, if not already there. Some things just aren't ever going to sell.

I have no problem with them doing another garage sale. I still think, had they closed their business in a different manner they would have gotten a lot better results from their initial closing sale. I think once the boards closed with no notice, people just moved on tothe other things. I know they have every right to do what they please but when there was initial speculation on the boards of two peas going under, they should havesaid something. Its their business and I feel bad and hope they are able to move past it and not make the same mistakes if they decide to be business owners again. But Twopeas who? I love this new place. |
