Richard,
You're kidding, right? We're talking about a *very* limited quantity of
sets. Catalog inserts? Those cost money and take plenty of time to make
and stuff into the catalogs - and by the time they get out, the sets will
probably be gone! Websites and postings - they have to pay people to do
those.
Which is cheaper: paying someone to make 4 or 5 phone calls to sell a big
chunk of product in one go, or paying a web designer, someone to post the
specials, a printer, a layout artist...you get the idea. It doesn't make
any economic sense to do all that - it would eat up any profit that TLC
(or the store, whichever) could possibly make on those sets.
