I guess with the use of self-checkout the problem is only going to get worse. At least with a live person may realize that something is up if the price seems way off.

Man... factoring in the effort, supplies and time involved in repacking... they would probably be only saving 3 cents. So yes. LOL.

Somebody at our Target is putting fake barcode labels over the original ones on the bottom of the new CW SW figs. I saw one and it scanned in at $6. They have to be doing it in store... bastards.

First off, this is BS. I agree this is Theft. Now, if one of these repackers/UPC swappers wants to bring in his old vintage Joe figures from 1982-1987 and Wal-Mart puts those figures on the shelf for $6.97 I will be more than happy to pay that price

But, aren't they $6 anyway? Plus it doesn't make sense to do it and not actually buy the item. What's the point if they're leaving them on the pegs?

But I only noticed the fake label on the bottom of one of the newer CW figs; I didn't even check if they used the same label on any of the vintage stuff.

If this becomes widespread enough the only thing you'll see are major retailers cutting their losses and cutting back on their toy sections even more. |
