I heard about this once a few years back. The person who described it to me
said something to the effect... "we make it not resaleable, then dump some red

raided a pile of christmas stuff they are trying to get rid of. Bags of
christmas bows have been reduced to 10-cents. I must have 30 bags stashed away
so far (gave some to all my friends). Target slashed their christmas stuff to
90% off last week. Several Targets had large quantites of boxes of candy canes
(orig $0.99) for $0.09. Or as the price scanner says " 0.$9 ", bad firmware !
