Yeah, in some cases the store management seems to figure into it. I
think the biggest percentage drop I ever saw was ... lemme get the
set number ... 6938 Scorpion Detector. $25 retail. About 30-40 of
them on the shelf. Dropped to $20, $15, then $10. I bought 2.
Most stayed. I didn't drop by for a while, then found them on a
sidewalk outside during a sale for $2.50 each, 90% off. I bought as
many as I could find, about 15 or so, after giving one to a confused
mom who had picked up a smaller space-type set that was more
expensive. Told her that her boy would like this more and she'd
spend less money.
