| (...) What you speak of seems to be *very* dependent on the particular store and their philosophy of markdowns. My local WM-sc seems to be of the mind "don't clearance it until we have tried ever other way to sell it. Once we start marking down, do (...)

| (...) I've seen you advocate this, but I have to, to a certain extent, disagree. Suppose you don't buy any, the price doesn't drop, and someone else buys them all? Or worse, it drops, and someone else swoops in and buys them all. Now what do you (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.fl, lugnet.market.theory)

| (...) As long as most of them don't move, they should drop. If you're tempted to buy a few now, don't. You'll just hold up the price drops, or possibly stop them entirely. (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.fl)

| Hi all, Just got back from Target, not much left and not much on sale. But Target is the only local store in my area (Clearwater, FL) with LEGO Sets for a sale price. SW 7171 - $54.??

| The WalMart SC in Chiefland *finally* has some of the 2000 Lego sets. I saw most of the smaller sets, some of the medium sets and *none* of the big sets (Castle, Highway, etc). Everything at WMs 'low low low' MSRP less 3 cents price :( Ray (25 years ago, 24-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.fl)

| As everyone says, it's minifig scale, BUT if you had to chose the closest model train scale, I would say O scale. Now, of course, minifig scale means cars and trains that can only fit one minifig width-wise. I, however, build my trains 8 studs wide (...)
