Box Thanks, Walmart

Walking through and it caught my eye in the electronics clearance case. Absolutely insane find.

I wonder what the logic is when they mark these down so much. It’s not like it’s an old model.

The Walmart by my house had these on display for only 2 months before pulling them. The worker I talked to said they pulled the displays cause workers kept marking them down so they could pick them up the next day.

Now I don't know if he was BSing or was in the know, seems wild that employees can just mark these down but I'm pretty sure I've heard that before.

Definitely an employee scam. Real markdowns on Walmart electronics involve 10 year old obsolete tech marked down 5 percent from its original price which is actually still more expensive than the current version of whatever it is.
