So far, I've resisted buying anything just for the price.

well still at 50% here. I check every day sometimes twice LOL

Well at 75% off I broke down and bought the tricorder. I liked it when I first saw it in the store and played with it, but not enough to put it on my tree or pay the price.
Yet now I figure what the heck.

I got the VIP ornament and it only cost me $2.68

I've been thinking about how you got ornaments that had already been opened. My guess is that the order was filled at a store and not at a Hallmark warehouse, and the store personnel didn't know or care if they had already been opened. Especially on Elliott's order since it came in two boxes - they probably came from different places. I don't think Hallmark would have accepted a return on these if they had been ordered initially on Hallmark.com.

I could be wrong, but I could see how that could happen.

I went to a Hallmark store today that I try to hit up after Christmas. Didn't get out there till today. I was sooo upset when I found out they had put their ornaments on sale last week for 75% off. Last year, it was the end of Jan. and the year before that it was on Martin Luther's King Day. Not much left. I did pick up the Star Wars skirt for 75% off for my son. Giving it to him for his birthday this year. Also picked up the miniture cat and dog for $2.00. (display) Not a complete bust.

now I'm waiting for the corporate 90% off.

and a private owned chain has $2. for any ornament left in the store.

Our local store sent me an email which is 75% off and then another 50% off of all of the sale items.

Hi all!

Has anybody seen any of the Charlie Brown for the power cord set?

Thanks!
