(...) the (...) Okay, I'd better come clean about why I started this whole thing... There are 2 RIS 1.5's at my local Target store that I've been waiting on for quite some time. After reading yesterday's posts, I was sure that I would go pick them (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

You have to call FIRST THING in the morning. I just finished a 100 mile trip to go get some 4561s at $32.44 each - I called the second they opened, and hoped they'd still be there when I got there (luckily, they DID have some. Not as many as I (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I think it makes total sense (though it's not how I *wish* it worked.) The crux of the matter is that the return policy is for people who want to *return* something, not get the best price for it. If their policy was refund the difference then (...)

(...) most of my local targets haven't had any clearance items left for two weeks.. but I checked the one that has stubbornly refused to clearance anything at all and it finally did have something on clearance.. a 5988 Pharoh's Forbidden Ruins for (...)

(...) Once again, Lar, you prove to be all wise. That is a great plan which I wish I had employed. My Target had at least 12 4561s sitting around yesterday for $77.xx. After calling today and finding out that they marked them down to $32.44, I went (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I don't understand this logic. 'We don't want it anymore, so it's on clearance. But you can return it for the 40% off price and we'll give you all the money back. Then we WILL sell it again, but at a MUCH LOWER price, but NOT TO YOU, because (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Last time I tried this they said the point of clearances was to clear. They'd let me return the items and get what I paid back (40% off) but stated... you will have to wait 24 hours to rebuy at the lower price. I did not want to chance having (...)

That is, if I had bought some of set XXX, and then I found a Target store with that same set marked (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
