Re: Twinsfest 2012
The signed Mauer bat went for $1150.
As for punch's complaints, I never promised any discounts, but speculated their would be some. Sure enough, the Span, Cuddy and Kubel bats were marked down 50% and the many, many Cuddy's sold out, so I guess our prices weren't too high then. What were you expecting? $25? All I can do is let you know what we've got and give you a heads up on when they are marked down or when I think they will be marked down from the prices in the store, which I have nothing to do with setting in the first place.
Morneau bats were marked down from $650 to $300 and were in a display case next to the registers, not in the barrels with the rest of them.
Personally, I was surprised that the other barrel of everyone else's bats wasn't marked down on Sunday or even the Span barrel getting another reduction on Sunday, but I don't get to tell my bosses how to do their jobs any more than anyone else does.
I clearly stated "No idea what they plan on price reductions for the jerseys. It's possible we can always just bring them back to the stadium to have on hand for the upcoming season priced as they have been." which is exactly what happened. There was no "discount rack", just the lower priced ones on a rack and the pricier ones behind the counter. I was again surprised they even brought the 2011 jerseys to TwinsFest, as we need to have a supply of game used for the entire 2012 season. With that in mind, I didn't see much chance of them wanting to make those any lower, as we have 2.5 million fans who have yet to see them for sale.
Yes, it's not like the old days when the pricing was $150, $100 and $50 over the course of the three days, but it hasn't been that way for some time now, but, by the time I got there an hour and a half after the start on Friday, all the 2010 and older jerseys, which had been marked down, were gone and I made damn sure they weren't overlooked sitting in a box somewhere, so some people were able to apparently get some $100 and $125 deals.
