I asked for a discount at Toys R Us today, and actually got one!
Jeckyl needed a basketball. There was one size 5 (little size) composite bball left in stock. It was marked full price ($29.99!), even though it had no box, was dirty and looked beat-up and used.
So they gave it to me for $10, final sale.
I think I can clean it up with Mr Clean magic eraser.
