At a 70% markup. No thanks. They'll be easy to find at retail in a few weeks.

Also, SS is already sold out.

>:oP

Except if you go by TRU prices, then the mark up is infinitesimal. Voyagers are $31 at the TRU near where I work O.o I refuse to buy anything in there anymore.

I DON'T got by TRU prices. They mark everything up, and the prices differ from place to place. (Voyagers are $26 at my local TRU). Walmart and Target, which are way more common stores, with far more locations than TRU, sell the Voyagers for $19.99. That's the most common retail price, so that's the standard that other prices should be compared to.

Is there a reason for getting upset over a simple comment? I think everyone on the planet knows TRU marks their stuff up. I was only remarking on the trivial different between BBTS's prices and my local TRU's.

Just the fact that it's been a long day and I'm tired and want to go home. Sorry for being grumpy!

Considering they're shortpacked, that price really isn't that bad of a markup. I'm more surprised they're that affordable, actually. I use BBTS for most of my online shopping, so it's not like I have an agenda against them, but I can clearly see their prices are generally ridiculous on most things. I have to give them credit for making these reasonable, given their unfortunate situation of having to sit on the rest of the case.

You could probably insulate a mansion with the leftovers they're stuck with.
