That's what I did in the Okemos, MI Meijer. They
had three Armada Flagships left about a year ago,
and I said "look, you're not moving these for $25
each, I'll take 'em all for $45." To my surprise, the
manager said "sure." They do have latitude--I got
an RK castle and Islanders set marked down in a
similar way.
LFB.
