I can't find this company anywhere anymore, is it closed down???

They have been replaced by Theme Park Connection: http://stores.ebay.com/ThemeParkConnection

Same interesting assortment of Disney surplus stuff. There was some business disagreement between the folks that used to run Mouse Surplus that resulted in this new store opening up.

They essentially are gone. So sad.

Still TPC is a solid place to get some otherwise hard to find stuff. Near Sand Lake and OBT.

I've purchased from theme park connection. Easy way yo buy Disney collectibles. Also excellent shipping being how big the piece was, I highly recommend them.

TPC also has NASCAR parts too now. I think he is sponsoring a car as I saw something on his FB page last week of the car going through inspection. I don't remember the car # though.

Be forewarned, TPC has sold stuff as "original" when it has actually been resin copies.

TPC is a ripoff. They have a couple of neat things, like the solar bench from EPCOT, but most of it is overpriced junk. They pull a few scams too.

Care to elaborate?

Has anyone taken a taxi from the world to the tpc warehouse? Wondering if it's worth the fare and time.

If you want a bunch of cheap junk and higher end items of questionable origins sure

Such as the Haunted Mansion Bat Stanchion replica for $550! It's nice that they disclose it as a replica, but they sell it at an original price point.

I have purchased from TPC through some eBay auctions and generally been happy with them. My one bad experience was winning an auction for an item, they marked it as shipped but I never received it. Sent an email asking them to investigate and got an answer back within 24 hours stating they were unable to find my item or a tracking number for it. I got a full refund and an apology the next day. I was disappointed with the fact that my item was somehow lost or misplaced, and marked as shipped, but pleased with the response and prompt refund. I've continued to purchase from them with no issues. As far as prices, I can't complain since I am buying at auction, but some of the bidders out there are willing to spend crazy money on some items. Not that I have done that or anything...

Very overpriced. We were shocked by the inflated prices at the warehouse. Mouse Surplus was a great treat and the pricing was very fair. The prices that we saw for most of the junk at TPC was nuts and higher than any auctions or shops that my wife and I ever had come across.

The same thing has happened to me when buying from TPC eBay store.
