i love the emo in these retailer threads. Its pretty simple, if a store wont discount items to as low as you want because of damaged packaging etc then dont go there. its pretty simple. if your a collector chances are you've bought it online or you'd wait until you find one in another store in better condition. No amount of baaawing on an internet forum is going to change the way retailers do business or how much they mark things down for you.

tl dr: bawwing on the internet doesnt solve your problems.
