    My siser offered to buy me a mouse for my birthday. Cool. I wanted wireless, and the budget was $30CAD. We were at the source, and we picked up a centrios notebook mouse. It was $30, down from $50. Seemed like a good deal. Well, it turned out it was crap, and needed to be returned. Sometimes, when clicking, you would hear the sound, but there would be no action on the PC.

    Then we decided to go to staples. They did not have any cordless notebook mice in stock for $30. But, upont further inspection, we found a small rack of Logitech V200s and the tag above them said $30. I immediately thought, that can't be right, they were $60 in the isle with all the other mice. To make a long story short, the manager gave us the mouse for the price that i saw displayed. What a deal! 50% off because some punk kid must have messed with the pricing tags. :D

    And just a reminder, i don't reccomend centrios brand stuf from the source.

    I really doubt they would have allowed that. They did not even have to give me one at that price.

    Good point, but I'm known to give people lots of crap if they don't give me the price that's advertised; whether it was mismarked or not. Some states have laws about that here.
