Hi,

I tried to get a discount for a very shelf worn 7191 X Wing once with a
ripped box.  When I took it to the service desk at TRU and asked for a
discount they looked at me like I was from Mars...I then took it back to its
place on the shelf and left it at its price of $159 Canadian.

About a month and a half later, I showed up at the same TRU early one
Saturday morning and there was the same 7191 X Wing for $11 Cdn ...
equivalent to about $7 US.  It had all the polybags sealed except one that
was missing a few pieces.  I bought it but they could have made a bit more
of a profit from me earlier on.

I guess you have to wait for it to hit the clearance table and just be there
at the right time....at least at my local TRU.

Bob

Hi, I went to Toys R Us before and saw that there were 2 Railway Express
(4561)  train sets left (both at normal prices $139.00 each). What caught my
eye was that one had a tear in the box, and looked as if someone tried to
get at some pieces in the box- but everything looked to be intact in the
box. My question is, Does Toys R Us give discounts for opened or tampered
products?


Thanks, Joe

PS- sorry if this post isn't in the right newsgroup, hopefully it is
