Okay, here's my proposal: What if one very trusting Lugnetter and one very
honest Lugnetter get together for a lucrative deal? Let's say I buy a bunch of
RIS 1.5's and Tie Fighter vs. Y-Wings at my local Target at 25-40% off. Then
couldn't I just overnight-mail the receipt to my friend in "Happy-land" where
Targets have decent discounts, and ask him to go in and get the price match
difference applied to my credit card? Does anybody have reason to believe this
would not work? Just an idea....

It would be nice if Target was consistant.  The two near me work in two
different worlds.  A couple of weeks ago, one had things at 40% while the
other was at 75% off.  Neither have marked down the Tie Fighters or Y-Wings.
It doesn't matter that they have a pile of them.  maybe i need to move.

(...) About 5 or 6 years ago, I would regularly bring receipts back on clearance items which had gone down further to receive the cash difference.

(...) actually sorta tried this, and found that they wouldnt price match anything that was on clearance, no matter what day it was, or when I bought it. They told me clearance was clearance and unless I was straight up returning it, they wouldn't (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
