KBToys 30% off $30 (forced) sale : oct 8th-14th


http://www.dreamstation.cc/news/video_games/id1935

Quote:
Defendants will distribute the Net Settlement Fund by providing a discount at the cash registers of all KB Toys, KB Toy Works, KB Toy Outlet, Toy Liquidator and KB Toys Express stores nationwide, including Guam and Puerto Rico, equal to 30% off all qualifying purchases of $30 or more during October 8-14, 2003.


official legal notice:

the first link, deciphers the techical jargon a little bit, from the official legal notice. basically, this is how i see things goin' down. this one dude, LOUIS DeGRADI, took KBToys to court, because of how KBT marked it's prices. Let's say, a game sells MSRP $49.99, and that price is everywhere, no sales, no nothin'. KBT goes and makes a price that is, let's say $59.99. Then they put a big black X over that price, and hand write the price of $49.99, making it look like the game was reduced by KBToys. this dude saw that, and decided to do something pretty brave, and took these foo's to court.

so now, KBT has to mark of 30% off sales over $30 during the 8th to the 14th

It seems it's not applicable to video games. :/ This is from the "Cheap-Ass Gamer" forums, for what it's worth.


I emailed the attorney yesterday, and this is his exact reply!!!!
