Ha!
I have the greatest discount story of all :-)!
I was shopping at TRU two years ago, looking for some Outback sets. Hidden
behind some other small sets, I found an 6538 Rebel Roadster. It is a set
from 1994, so I was happy when I found it in 1998. The box was a bit
smushed, but all was in order. I brought it to the checkout counter along
with some other sets. It rang up at 0.01$, that's right 1 penny! I live in
Canada, so that was one canadian penny, in american green paper, it would be
0.7 cents!
At full price, the set retailed for 6.99can. So the discount was about
0.999% off!

Not the greatest of sets, but at 93.75% off, a really good deal. After (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
