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)

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 (...)
