I've actually seen managers reseal boxes missing items and replace them on the shelf after I've turned down an (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I was at a TRU today looking for sale items and they had one #4591 on sale at $98 and change, the box was completely shrink wrapped and looked pristine EXCEPT for one little flap that indicated it had been opened. They also had a couple (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
