I was in my local Electronics Boutique store at the mall this afternoon, and happened to see a copy of "Planes of Power" priced at $0.99. I figured there was some kind of mistake, but the other two copies were priced the same. So I took one up to the cashier, who of course thought the price was wrong ... until he scanned the box and it turned out to be the correct price!

He was utterly flabbergasted, saying that he had paid $50 for his copy. He then threw down the game he had been holding before proceeding to ring up the purchase, all the while muttering in disbelief at the absurdly low price. I don't know how the game got priced at 99 cents, but if that was the real deal then I surely wasn't going to question it! :-)

bought a 10 speed bike once from target. The price tag was 34.95 I thought man that's a miss tag so i took it up to the counter and had them ring it up. The woman scanned it and asked me if I wanted it. I said yah. She didn't even question the price. Somone missed a 0 in the price appearntly.

I was changing my cell phone plan, and the chic upgraded me to the $150.00 plan. I only wanted the $100 plan. So, she gave me the minutes for the big plan, and I only had to pay the $100. That was awesome :)

Heh, thanks! This is actually the second EQ expansion I've gotten for nothing (or practically so): a couple years ago, one of my friends gave me his unplayed copy of "Shadows of Luclin", being as how someone had given it to him for Christmas, but he had gone on to "Dark Age of Camelot". Hope my luck keeps up in this regard! :-)
