[net.misc] Cabbage Patch Dolls, Only $449.00

ggr@pyuxbb.UUCP (12/17/83)

A local retailer, known for practices that could be called, let us say,
"unorthodox", is having a one-day sale tommorrow.  The full-page ad
in the paper promises to sell you a Cabbage Patch Doll for only $449
(but there are only 212 in the store).

In smaller print, further down in the ad, you might notice that when
you buy The Doll, they will throw in a free VCR.  You probably don't
have to take it.

You may be interested to know that all 212 of those dolls were sold.
Almost 50 people waited in line overnight.
