Famous Retirement Sale

Got this in the ol' e-mail box this morning.
Famous Retirement Closeouts

There are a few gems, a fair few bundles under $40.00 from Oliva, Quesada, Plasencia, Rocky Patel....683 items in toto.

What are our recollections of Augusto Reyes? It's a name I remember seeing.

I've noticed with Famous, they try to make it look like a sale, but really it isn't. I didn't think those prices were all that great. Just saying!

And if you 'miss' a one day sale with Holt's, well I have found the sale price often is there a few days later

Tommy, I thought that YOU were retiring and offering a famous sale.

I completely agree. I hate their marketing technique as a consumer.

HA, No. I'm going to die in my office chair, or up on the organ bench at Church.

Sorry guys, I saw the bundle prices from the recognized manufacturers, and they're mostly under $40.00, that caught my imagination. Less than $2.50 per seemed like something interesting.
