Odd pricing.

Motto: "This is your end."
Weapon: Quasar Cannon
Took some time checking out a local Walmart on my day off, and found this deluxe Knock Out.

This was the only deluxe they had mind you, and no wonder! They apparently normally retail for $44.97! I'm in Cali btw.

EDIT: Added the second pic.

Target did something similar last year, bumped the prices of DotM Deluxes to $30 and then put them "on sale" at $18 (back when $13 was full retail). Skeevy --and seemingly desperate-- business practice if you ask me.

I wonder if there's a way to report such incidents, or if all's fair in retail. I suppose we could at least have buyer-beware articles dedicated to them regardless.

They can charge whatever they like, just don't pay for it, lol. It's the magic of Capitolism. Stop buying and the price drops.
