Putting some items on clearance as soon as you get them on the shelf (I bought the 25th Optimus on clearance for $35 in the first week it hit Wal-Mart, next week it was up to the regular price of $60 A similar thing happened to some people with the $100 Falcon, they got it for like $20!)
Items that have been on the shelf for a year or so with destroyed packaging but only discounted by $1.00 (In some rare instances,
Increased
by a few dollars! As seen below)
Clearance? The 25th Optimus my Walmart has, the packaging is completely caved in, and they only recently marked it down to $50. Yea, $50 for something that's package is completely and utterly destroyed...
If it hit 25 or so I'd grab it to open, but 50 isn't low enough.
