Liquidation Greatness

A lesson for Target and Walmart to learn from their long-struggling counterpart K-mart: in order to move old product, reduce the price. After reading of lonestarr's success in finding reduced price blasters at his local K-mart, I myself ventured into the blue-light special unknown in search of goods. What I found was this:


That's right - a blaster of 2008 UD Heroes for only $7.49. I snatched up two of them, and headed home for some crazy rippin fun. Here's the first of 2 blasters.

Wow, that's great. I'll have to see if there is a Kmart close to here. I've always wondered why Target and Walmart never mark these down, even though the same old blasters that nobody wants for $20 are always there.

You started the post wrong. Wal-Mart sells boxes they don't move to Sears who then re-wraps them and sells them through K-Mart. Next time you see them look at the bar codes. I thought the same thing until talked to the manager at the K-Mart were I buy.
