(...) You said it! I got the 1349 also, no coupon - but still I thought it was a great deal. The box looked like it had been in a war, very nasty looking. I asked if there were parts missing if I could return it, they said no problem. But this is (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

At 75% off, I've seen 10 stores go from 2 full aisles worth of toys to 1/4 aisle of beaten toy boxes. This process took just under 3 days to complete. I figured that this would probably happen by Sunday, but the general public proved me wrong once (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) Buy it. It is insanely difficult to find, was only released in the US and is a limited edition item that's sought after. I haven't seen any since early October and know of some folks who would like this item even at retail ($15.00). -Dave (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Before the execution proceeds, a different pov. Isn't this simply a form or arbitrage - where a buyer takes advantage of a localized oversupply or pricing anomaly and resells the product at a price closer to what is the "global market price"?
