A couple years ago, someone in RTL was crowing one day that they had switched
price tag stickers on a LEGO set at Wal*Mart and had gotten away with a steal.
When people came down hard on him and called him dishonest, deceitful, etc.,
he came back and said that he was lying -- that he hadn't really switched
stickers, and that he "just wanted to see how we would react."
I believe it scarred his reputation for some time -- although he seems to be
doing all right now.
