Hi, everybody.
Well, well, well. HP is out and about, and we have (of course)
the expected prices. But lo! and behold, what do I see today
but the infamous K-B consortium gouging *again* on a popular
toy line:

Yes, not content to be 20% over retail on SW, they're between
*25%* and *45%* over MSRP on their prices. 4701 for $10?!?
Feh. Granted, ZB was overpriced on these things, but this is
ridiculous. Those other prices are pretty amazing, too. Are
they out of touch with reality, or is this a trend with HP sets?
If it is, Wal-Mart, TRU, K-Mart, and Target don't seem to be
biting. Even CompUSA was at MSRP for 4701!
Anyways, just a venting. I suppose it's inevitable with the
shrinking of the marketplace, and we always do have the option
merely not to buy (which is the one I'll be exercising, thanks
much). I'm just posting this as a heads-up for anyone thinking
of going hunting for these sets in the K-B network: prepare to
pay a packet.

IMHO, KB markes these up thusly not so much because they expect (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
