So a little backstory... I work as an Account Sales Representative for Toshiba, which means I go to different stores and represent my products. Today I'm working at a Best Buy in Seacaucus NJ, and on my break I take trips to a near by Walmart and TRU.
Now the TRU here usually sucks, there are almost never any elites besides the usual shelf-warmers. I wasn't planning on seeing anything so I was surprised when I saw they had BO-PPV elites filling two pegs (All four of them not just Cenas) Unfortunately this didn't matter to me as I didn't need anyone from the set, although I was contemplating picking up Bret Hart.
Anyways I look over at the Elites and there is only one Best of Randy Orton. Now I'm dressed up and I have a name tag..which gave me an idea. One of the associates asked if I needed help. I told him I was a sales rep and was checking up on product.. I asked him to check how many Elites they had. He scanned it and read 20...however none of which were in the back. He told me he was going to try to find them.
A few minutes later he came back and said he couldn't find them, he asked another associate if he saw them, he said "yeah I put them out" Pointing to the BOPPV I quickly said no these are different item numbers. He had no idea where they went. So the first guy who check said he was going to go luck.
Then I say he let me check underneath the shelves plus they didn't mind as they thought I was a rep, I end up find about three BOPPVs HHH and E14 Taker I start going up and down the aisles check underneath each section I end up find a ton of figures...some DC Batmans, Darth Vader, DC All Stars, and Elite 14 Rock.
I even find an ELITE 9 RYDER! and some more Bret Harts.
I put most of these figures back out on the shelves where they belong. I didn't have time to go through the DC stuff but I let the staff know about all these hidden figures.
I end up getting some nice pick ups. Moral of the story always check under the shelves.
I think we should try to expose these hiders in order to make way for new stock.
Also I'm writing this from the computer in the break room and as I went to type the URL for WFIGS I noticed that someone else had typed it in so it appears there is a WFer near me! If you read this PM me!
Question: How much are people willing to pay for BOPPV Bret Hart and E9 Ryder MOC? lol
What's the craziest thing you've ever found underneath the shelf?
