It is unlikely (IMHO) that you will see 50% off or 75% off at Target in the
next few days. I would guess we will see 50% off next Wednesday (or there
abouts) and then 75% off two weeks after that.
I still have four copies of 4561 that I picked up at Target a year ago at
50% off. I have been meaning to part them out but never got to it. I'll
probably buy a couple more at 50% off (if I can find any) and as many as I
can find (which last year was a grand total of exactly one) at 75% off.
