The best karma is letting a jerk bash himself senseless on the wall of your polite indifference.
The stupid is strong with this one.

"Seconds" stores are awesome. You never know what you're going to find
In fact, one of my shop vehicles came from one of those stores. I'd just killed one of my wagons in '05--one of the struts went through the floor (damn rust!), meaning the thing was scrap. Grandma and I happened to wander through there, and I found a replacement. Problem was, only the display model was left, and I wanted one in a box. I wasn't trying to get a discount--I thought that a boxed wagon would fit into my trunk better. But, they didn't have any left...and gave me a hefty discount on the display. Needless to say, it came home with me
I do know that many model-builders are a bit um, "anal" about the condition of kit boxes...mainly because the parts inside usually get damaged if the box gets crushed. Often though, everything will be fine. Still, most people won't buy them...meaning I'm free to take them off the shop's hands at a discountAerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

Quoth DevilBoy View PostThis reminds me of something I witnessed at a very famous and popular 'seconds' store in my area.
The store buys up items that have been reconditioned or refurbished, overstock or discontinued items from major suppliers, or items that may have encountered very slight damage in shipping refused by larger, big-name chain stores... and then sells these things at a huge discount. ("Good Stuff Cheap" is their mantra).
The store's inventory changes almost daily and when a certain lot of items is gone... then it's gone.
But yes, I've seen jerks walk around and complain about the stuff that's out for sale. Um, their flyers clearly state what type of place it is. They have signs up all over explaining about the damaged packages, etc. DUH!Oh yeah? Well I have a few words for you! Like YOU, and ARE, and A MORON!!!!
