So.
I go to Toys R Us to buy my son a new bike this weekend. Which I did on Friday and it was way too small. I end up getting called out of town and go back Sunday night to exchange it for a bigger bike. This goes smoothly, and they tell me to wait about 10 minutes while they check everything. So, I wander over the Joe Isle. Nothing there. Check transformers and Iron Man, nothing I need. I wander into the clearance Isle. Nothing much, but what's this. Final Fantasy Play Arts! Clearance! Score!. Well, no, no score. I grab the 2 they had, Squall and Cloud (2 that I really wanted). The boxes are mangled. I mean torn open and re-sealed with scotch tape. The figures are in decent shape, but Clouds sword is broken off. Mainly I just want them for loose display. I bring them up to the cashier, and I state flat out "I want to buy these, but they are opened and 1 is broken, can you give me some sort of deal?" Over comes the manager, and she goes to ring them up and states "Those are $16.99 each" Myself: Even on clearance? Manager: Yes, that is the clearance price Myself: Well, ok but I would like to point out these are A. resealed and 1 of them is broken. Manager: I will take a dollar off the total Myself: Trying not to sound put out. Ummm, no thanks. How about $10 for both of them Manager: Sorry, I can only take off %10 for an open package item Myself: Well, no thanks. In all honesty, what gets me about this is the fact that we can't barter anymore. That and I had just dropped $150 in the store on a new Bike, I would have liked to think they would have made a deal :\

I was in T.J. Maxx last week and found 3 Resolute 5 Packs. Two were fine but the other was badly banged up and someone had cut open the plastic and removed the B.A.T. I took all three to the register and asked the Manager if she could discount the one that had been opened and had a figure removed. She told me that she could take $.99 off of the listed price. I just left it. Seems like stores would be more eager to get rid of damaged items or items that have been "broken in to" but I guess their logic is that someone will eventually pay full price for it.
