In New York, TRU employs RJIS to do total shelf inventory. After Christmas,
RJIS staffs up and dispenses laser scanner belts to college students on break.
You sometimes find their data sheets lying about.
My experience with TRU is that 3 year old discontinued sets have no prices in
the computer. The sort of stuff that gets lost in the basement and comes up
later. For this you get to haggle with the busy store manager. I suggested 5
cents per piece (reflecting a 50% clearance discount.) In one case I got an old
6340 for $4 which scanned as a newer item.
I too am the little fish that cleans the big fish...
