Never shopped in Target since.
I would have been shocked to get that sort of response. Isn't false pricing like that illegal?

[QUOTE=Steffen;1317468]Nobody is buying < $1000 items overseas to save 10%. People are buying them overseas to pay a fraction of the local price. Or because they're unavailable locally.

I for one own a car that only 115 were sold here so have to source most parts for it from the US. In the process of doing a mechanical rebuild so am please to hear I'll have another year to get all the parts I need without paying more.
