check this out
I have 2 identical items, you & one other guy are there buying from me at the same time. I tell him he can have one for $20 but
YOU
have to pay $43. Yes you would be furious! You would come on here & start a new thread about it. "you're not gonna believe what happened to me today! I was at the store & this asshole sold another guy the figure I wanted for $20 but he told me I had to pay $43. But he didn't have any explanation. What a $*&$#%^$!!!"
See? It would be ok for you to feel that way but for me, I should be embarrassed. Isn't it funny how that works?
That only works if the two people are in the same store, sure they're both called Walmart, but they're not the same store.
There used to be a Walmart near me that was clearancing out the Indy figures this time last year (6 months or more before the rest of the nation) but then it seems they got a new manager and now almost nothing goes on clearance. That's just life. If you really wanted the toy, you would have gotten it at the full price, if you're lucky enough to find it at a cheap price, it's just that, luck.
Case in point, I really wanted the Big Millenium Falcon, so I stood in line outside TRU to buy it at $160, later people were able to find it at Walmart for $24. I could have waited but I really wanted it (I even saw it for $69 once, but I already had one so I didn't need to buy a second) This doesn't mean I should be mad at people getting it cheaper or even mad at the chain store that decides they want to get the most money they can before they write off the loss of clearance. That's just the toy life for us collectors
