  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
(...) Well others have said it but I think it bears repeating, I'm not sure I'd characterise taking advantage of a price in the system that the system chose to assign as theft. He did nothing to interfere with Target's knowledge of their prices or (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
(...) Doesn't sound like "veiled theft" to me. Target made a mistake, and Renard just happened to be there to benefit from it. It's not his responsibility to say "Hey, these are supposed to be $80, why are you selling them for $25? You really should (...)

  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
(...) I just envy him. Here in Cary NC we had a somewhat similar thing with 5978. They had clearanced them one summer for $15.74. Then in the fall, they showed up on the shelf again, with a regular price of $15.74. I asked a handy employee to scan (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I remember PACE warehouse stores, they were owned by KMart I believe. Didn't last long in our area though, couldn't compete with Price Club and Costco. (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Clearance Mom's (was Re: Target Lies and Great Buys!)
 
(...) No kidding. These Target mom's are scaring me! I was at a Target on wednesday morning because I had a hunch things would go to 75%. As I walked through, the place looked the same as usual, then I hit the toy isle. Utter savagery, moms running (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
(...) snip What about when someone finds a rare set the TRU or Walmart (or whoever) puts out a set that they had sitting in their warehouse for years and they mark it down and place it in their clearance area, should we tell them they can get more (...)

  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
(...) Once upon a time, many years ago, I was in a warehouse buying place called 'Pace'. I noted that they had something electronic at a really rediculous low price. I pointed that out to them, they checked the details and realized their mistake. (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
Actually, I think it's a great story (whether you think it was opportunistic or something worse), because it illustrates the best and worst of automated ordering systems. Besides, now I know where all those cheap 7317's on E-bay were coming from :) (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
(...) snip I bought them at the price anybody else walking in could have. Are you suggesting that I shouldn't have bought any, and told them of their mistake in pricing? Maybe, but the way I see it, if they have done something like this they have (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: FOTY, at least for me.
 
I see. So it's ok because they are a big business. My mistake. But wait a second... If some little old lady who's husband died and left her a nice chunk of change decides to sell their mint, classic, low milage Caddie becuase she doesn't drive for (...)
