Well i came into work today and started checking on some gi joe info only to discover we are raising are prices to 6.84 for single packs. This really sucks and you can thank Walmart for this since this is directly due to us price comparisions with walmart. I talked with are price comp. person and she told me how many items are being raised in the store due to Walmart. It really is incredible how Walmart pretty much sets the price for everyone in a sense. Now mind you the cost has not changed, still pay 3.94 per figure. I'm increasing my coupons now. I've already saved 40.00 on vehicles with these wonderful coupons. That along with my discount i get a vehicle for about 3.00 after i buy 2. Guess that is why i now have 22 hisses! Man i need help. Oh well. Sorry for the bad news.

I think hasbo has more to do with the price increase as the retail price is now $6.99

Maybe he is subtracting the figure from the price and he means he is only paying 3 dollars for the vehicle...

Is the increase nationwide or regional and when does it take effect? P.S. this blows |

Target usually follows Wal-Marts lead. Not sure about TRU and K-Mart, but I'm sure it won't be long till they increase their price also.
What sucks is he said Target did not have a price increase on single figures they were still paying 3.94, So WM is paying 3.76 on singles not much of a difference between the two stores cost on Joes. So we the consumer get an increase while the retailer pays the same sucks to be the little guy. Last edited by Snake-Eyes; 04-23-2008 at 04:55 PM.. |
