After buying it, I wanted to come home and start a thread on the greatest
retail discount for a non-damaged, unopened set (it had very little shelf
wear). I was curious if this purchase was indeed the biggest discount yet.

Today, after hitting 3 more K-Marts, I wasn't likely to forget. I found a
5958 Mummy's Tomb for $.15. Yes, that is not a typo. This set too was
unopened and non-damaged. By my calculation, that is a discount of 99.5%.

Ha!

I have the greatest discount story of all :-)!

At full price, the set retailed for 6.99can. So the discount was about
0.999% off!

I dunno...does a 100% discount qualify for entry?  (I got a free Lightsaber
Duel for being the first TCS customer of Y2K...TCS rocks!)

(...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
