Had to go shopping this afty (TCP, bread, frozen red onions & a cucumber), so a walk into Orpington town was called for (just over 2 miles there, just over 2 miles back - round trip of 4.5 miles)
Got to town and found myself at CEX, which is a bit off-the-beaten track, so I had a quick look inside. I think that CEX is now incredible expensive. They *used* to have cheap bargains, but now it seems like they are pricing themselves out. (Even Chloe had mentioned that their prices have rocketed). Anyway... I had a quick look through their Blu-Ray section and the only thing that they had of any interest was the Powerhouse release of '
The Legacy', price marked at ?8
"That's interesting," I though. "If the Powerhouse version has now been deleted, it might be worth something in the future". So I decided to carry on and do my shopping, but to take enough money out of the hole-in-the-wall to get what I needed AND the disc on my way back
Shopping done, and I returned to CEX. Yes, it was still there so I picked it up. Then the heavens opened, and I thought I''m buggered if I'm going out in this, so I had a look around the rest of the stock in store. Nothing in the DVD section. Nothing in the children's section. Nothing in the television section. Nothing in the world film section. Nothing in the WWE section. Nothing in the music sec... wait a moment! What is that? *THAT* turned out to be the 3-disc version of Motorhead's '
The World Is Ours, Vol 2' (1xDVD, 2xCD) for ?8.
I checked how much money I had, and it came to ?14 and change. "Damn," I thought. "Have to use my card again" (which I don't like doing twice in one day)
Anyway, I took both 'The Legacy' and 'The World Is Ours' to the counter, and praise de lawd... CEX didn't let me down - it seems that 'The Legacy' has been reduced to ?6, and they hadn't bothered to change the price sticker !
As I was leaving the shop, I wondered to myself how many sales they have lost through items being reduced but still having the old stickers on them
