Yeah, well, 50% off is no great deal FOR YOU. Me, I live in an area that stuff
almost NEVER goes on sale past 20%, because it sells out before it can hit any
lower IF they had any in stock to begin with.
I got my first deep discount sets in AGES last week by driving 40 miles to a KB
Toy Liquidator for the 8456s, and it made me pretty happy.
Out of all the 5571s I bought, want to guess how many came from my STATE, let
alone my area? I'll save you the trouble - NONE. They weren't discounting
them past $70 in CA, and none of the stores I called had any in stock anyways.
I had been happy with the 2 I bought for $80 2 months before locally, but after
what I got them for by ordering them from PA, VA, MD, and others, it wasn't
such a great deal anymore.

| (...) Don't get me wrong - 50% off is a great deal - just not great enough to warrant asking a woman to marry you. Unless she has other qualities to recommend her, of course. Like huge ... quantities of pre 1990's Castle lego sets. (25 years ago, 21-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| Hey Tom, Thanks - I've been trying to remember the toy store name where I got the large number of London Bus and Lear Jet sets back in the 1980's. It was KB Toys, the toy Liquidator! (I don't think they have Detroit area stores any more.) That (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
