I do agree. A 50% discont on an item that is already marked down 50% is
unreasonable. And doing it on over 100 sets would probaly close the place
down. I am not all that upset about it. You win some you lose some.

At some point the business has to make money, but sometimes not in the early
stages. For example I just received a few free baseplates from the Online
Toys R Us using their coupons. There is no profit for them in that. They are
going for market penetation not profit at this point.
But I know how you feel - you missed out on

I am not holding anything against them. I just don't think what they have is
that spectacular. Now an $8 US Space Shuttle is spectacular and that is
what I odered. If thay don't have it for that price, no big deal. And I
really mean no big deal. :-)
