    Glad to get the other side of the story. He knew the price, agreed to it, then got buyers remorse when he saw old stickers. End of story.

  4. My dog caught it and had a nice breakfast...the pancake is still available though.

  5. Hence my original post... STICKER SHOCK !!!!!
    I received the item with multiple price tags and feel ripped off. What more can I say... No one likes to overpay and in this case, it seems to have been rubbed in my face.
    So, no issue to you as you have the money.
    I have bought several SoCal products for my car through other vendors.

    Your original post is NOT an example of sticker shock. Being in the store may have made a difference, but not likely. The store person would be the one to charge the price the print was MEANT to sell for. Now, if there had been only ONE price and that was lower than it should have been, then you would get it at that lower price. But 3 price tags kinda gets the seller off the hook, I believe.

    And the dog in the Batman suit is WAAAY cooler than the bunny.

    Time to put on your big boy pants and accept that you agreed to the higher price and that is that. They told you what they wanted, you agreed, that is a contract, done deal.

    I bet you wouldn't be *****ing if the store made a mistake and sold it to you at the incorrect lower price.

  13. so it was $89 buy it now on eBay......did you look around the internet and see what the going price was before you did? i always educate myself by checking the price of an item i want at several places before i buy...i don't always ***ume the asking price is a good deal. by doing so i take full responsibility and don't blame others
     
  14. Can I have my ten minutes back?

    It's the artist's fault, it's Ebay's fault, it's So-cal's fault. Geez man, you saw it, you bought it. Must have thought it was worth what you paid for it now,so who cares what it cost originally?

    Be careful. I understand there's been a rise in the price of big boy pants ever since the demand went down and it costs more per unit to make them. Me, I wouldn't know-I shop in Menswear.

    You know, if you look carefully, it's actually a bunny with TWO pancakes on its head.

    of all the useful items a person could buy at a so-cal store, you bought a poster? a poster of a band?

    I hope you don't wanna buy a '32 3 window, you aint gonna pay the original price on that either.

  29. You know, that bunny? I feel it may be pertinent at this stage to point out that not only does it have several pancakes on it's head but it also has a tea-towel covering its body. I know this may come as a shock and we were only expecting a bunny with two pancakes. It clearly stated 'two', but I have since discovered if you can take the 2 off, it only says a 'bunny with A pancake' not two! I feel cheated, its heavy number shock!
    Now I would blame the internet for this, if it didn't exist then we wouldn't have seen it. I am sure the Catholic Church had a hand in this two, I really don't know how but if they were stricter back in the 1700s this probably wouldn't have happened and my eyes would not have been so affected.
    Just because I willingly and purposefully started my computer, logged onto the internet and looked at this all by my free will must make it someone else's fault.
    Oh! Did I mention, I can now count to potato...................that's a number right?

    Doc.
