Re: R\C Stuarts at Wally World [TANKS]

["erik kump" <ebkump-at-hotmail.com>]

There must be fifteen Wal-Marts within 25 miles of where I live or work. I 
called eight of them yesterday looking for one of those Stuart tanks. Two of 
them had no idea what I was talking about, and four of them said they had 
been a Christmas item only and they had been sold out for months (about what 
I expected to hear). One of them said that they still had two in stock... 
for the regular price of $180.  !!!  The last one told me that they had 
fourteen of the buggers in stock for $150 each. When queried at the large 
number of them, I was informed that they had recently received another 
shipment.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a giant company like Wal-Mart can't 
keep their prices straight. If I could have found one for the $75 I would 
have pounced on it. It would get my kids off my case about why I haven't 
finished the other tank yet. But at $150... I think I'd rather use that 
money to buy a drill press.
