New Menards Buildings Available in California!
A little background:
Per California’s “Proposition 65” law, items sold in the state of California must be labeled with a specific warning that adheres to the “Proposition 65” guidelines. Selling a single item without this warning label would result in a fine of $2,500 per item. Obviously, the risk was too high to continue to sell in California. These are after all, unique one-off, limited edition, hand-crafted buildings.
The whole situation is pretty unfortunate but we are now labeling and testing our new items as they are produced. And, in case you haven’t noticed our five newest buildings are now available for sale in California!
- Gamer & Thrones
- Piggly Wiggly
- American Materials Plant #2
- County Inn Hotel
- Sprecher Brewery
Still bummed you can’t get all of our buildings in California? Luckily, there are tons of resellers on "the bay" (or even on this forum) who will sell our buildings directly to you!
As an aside: While investigating this, it struck me that buying our buildings and reselling on “the bay” sure looks like a great business to me. Some of our current buildings are selling for upwards of 2.5 times the value and our out-of-production buildings are going for 3 times the value! For example, The Vetter Sash & Door (which is still in stock on Menards.com) is selling for $250 (plus $35 shipping) and the American Power & Light (out of production) is selling for $279 (plus $29.98 shipping).
Those return are better than the stock market!
Have a great day!
