Gee and I thought I was lucky getting Mos Espa Podrace yesterday at my local
K-mart for $9.99

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 :-)!

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!
