Fry's usually opens things like that to put inventory control tags into the boxes; if the tags are on the outside of the boxes, they are more easily removed.

It was pretty much the same story at the Palo Alto Fry's. I saw at least 50 RDSs. They rang up at $69.99, but the boxes and the shelves still said $149.99. Since the boxes had been opened (who? why?) I appreciated having Paul's inventory. I counted (...) (24 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I'm sorry, Eric - I didn't get in to the TRU until late Friday night. I would sell the Znap to you at the $22.50 + tax cost by way of apology, if you want. Paul Sinasohn bearitone@my-deja.com (24 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

The Sunnyvale TRU now has Znap. Two small sets, a $10 set, three different $20 sets, and a $30 set. Quantities were good. Too bad the BOGO50% is over. /Eric McC/ (24 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
