Alas, forget fleaBay for buying Nerf blasters cheap. (rolleyes) And don't get me started on ShAmazon...

I hear Goodwill can be an excellent source of bargain finds in the USA, but you must be able and willing to get out and drive to visit often. I myself drive bout twice a week to Value Village, where about 1/3 of the time I find something interesting, like a Maverick for $3 CAD, a Stampede with batteries and a Raider drum for $7 CAD, an unplayable but still-cool Captain America Brigade Blaster for $3, a Point Break for $3, matching blue and red HyperFires for $4 each...

I have had some luck - though not much - browsing Kijiji for Nerfs outside of my home province, asking if people will consider distance sales. I do point out that it is against Kijiji recommendations, since they can't protect anyone if something goes wrong (but also since they can't collect fees like fleaBay). However, I add that I have had success, that I have a reference who will back me up, and that I also have an eBay reputation to uphold. Also I have colleagues in another city who have agreed to inquire for me...

I'd sell you my own Longstrike for $25 USD plus shipping, except my kids are too fond of it to let it go.

Hmmmm. I wonder if there is any call to set up a marketplace sub-board here?
