A point you have missed is that Wal-Mart problably paid over $30 for that
set in the first place. If they sell it to you for $20 - $30 they will be
losing money, however if they return it to TLC under a recall then they will
get back the full wholesale price. It is definately in their best interest
to return it rather than sell it. Because Wal-Mart prides itself on great
customer service, some managers might bend the rules to make you happy, but
it is a judgement call. As a fellow Lugneter I wish you would have scored
the set for $20, but I understand Wal-Mart's position.

| I'm upset with Wal-Mart and their "we don't sell merchandise the computer says not too" rule. Tonight after work, I stopped by to pick up a few items and check on the Lego clearance shelves. I got lucky as they had been marked down again. There (...) (25 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
