Re: Update on the Orbit Balls
I got to one Wal-mart exactly 2 minutes before another local team did; there were 8 balls: 2 broken, 2 in original packaging (scanning at $9.97), and 4 out of the package with no SKU tag in the general ball bin marked $3.08. We split them and went to the customer counter to see if they would let us have any of them for $3.08 and the answer was no. We both decided that we would just pass and see what FIRST came up with for pricing (kinda like the bulk poof ball rate 3 years ago). Now I'm rethinking that decision - doesn't sound promising.
