Odd shopping news this week, suitable only for the MOAB thread: I went looking for a special kind of plastic plank called Attic Dek (manufacturer is "Metro" for most of it) and while poking around the big box hardware stores and Amazon, scrolled down through Google shopping results and found that, of all places, NewEgg was selling them for $88 for a pack of 4 when the closest price I was finding elsewhere was about $112 and up. Confirmed it was the same product and it had free shipping. Ordered.

It was drop-shipped from Walmart! So the third party hardware store selling through NewEgg bought them at Walmart and shipped? But when I look at Walmart online they're something like $134 for four. I don't know how they managed that magic trick, but this time it seems to have worked in my favor.

That is all. I found a Reddit conversation that discussed how it happens, but it usually doesn't work in your favor. http://bit.ly/3S7xA6O
