"Why, That's No Sale At All !!"

Today, I stopped into the local Hobby Lobby store to pick up a needed package of 1/2A3-4T motors.

Just for grins, I visited the 'Clearance' section on the back wall of the store.

To my surprise, I found this:

A package of 1/2A3-4Ts that had been opened and was missing one motor.  I was going to snag this until I saw the price sticker.

$5.99.

Wait a minute...that works out to 2 bucks per motor.

The regular package of four is $6.99, meaning $1.75 per motor.

Needless to say, I passed on the clearance sale package.  I suppose I could have argued the price at the checkstand, but I felt it wasn't worth the bother.

For what it's worth, they had five Estes Leapers on the clearance shelf for $5.99 each.

I passed on these as well. Just not interested.

Cheers!

  1. No deal at all. I've passed over that pack of motors for about 6 months now.
