re: #218 Vicious Michigan Union Thug
Actually, I think it’s because stores are betting people don’t pay much attention to details. I see all these flyers plastered with things like:
DOORBUSTER!!
HUGE DEAL!
MEGA SAVINGS!!
QUANTITIES LIMITED!!
Yet if you look at the actual prices, they are hardly a deal.
I just saw on walmart.com they are promoting the fact that they have the “Guranateed lowest price” on Xbox 360 controllers.
Standard retail price for a controller: $39.99
Wal-Mart price: $39.96
Yes, a whole THREE FREAKIN CENTS! So while the ad is technically correct, it’s not any kind of deal, just a dumb pricing gimmick.
I’ve even been underwhelmed by the prices on Amazon.
