On a side note - this always happens to me - we were ***ing back from lunch when we saw a warehouse sale on luggage. Anybody heard of the Ricardo's of Beverly Hills?
Well they have this awesome piece that I just saw in Sam's Club/Costco. It was a 12 # rolling suitcase with a built-in scale on it. It was about the size of a 26-in regular suitcase. Anyway, they were selling it for $110 +tax. They had it on sale for $60.
I got a 4 piece light pink set for $40. They were selling it for $60 this morning but as they were getting ready to close - they were dropping the prices. They also had a rolling duffel backpack which they were selling for $30. I didn't get that one but a couple of people in line did get them.
I bought 2 small rolling '***puter cases' in the brilliant color or red with a padded slot for the laptop and wider slot which may fit my camera and accessories. I've been looking for a ***bo suitcase roller thingy that might work and I believe this might if I can get past the 8" width on Iberia. This one is 10". I'm hoping that the travel agents don't notice especially if I have someone stand back and away. What do you all think?
Anyway, those pieces were $20 and then on the way out I found an elite ***puter style with 3 zippered slots and is a bit tougher. The problem with it? The zipper ***partment which housed the retractable handle was sticky. Someone had returned it. Since all sales were final I asked - how much were they selling it for. The "guard" said - oh I think they were selling for $20 (keep in mind I'd just bought 2 red ones for $20. But the man then went on to say - but I think they can sell it for $15. I then kinda picked up on the fact that this may be the man to deal with. So I asked - how about for $10? His reponse? Elise - sell this item to this lady for $10!
Now, I can go and return about $250 dollars worth of suitcases to Marshall's!
Good thing Marshall's has a return policy!
