</div>the one thing that irritated me about weird stuff was the 'fenced off'<br>
area (this was a little while ago so i'm not sure it is setup this way<br>
any more). there was a list of things back there, but unless you knew<br>
exactly what differentiated a fooby-mark-v from a fooby-mark-v.1 getting<br>
someone to let you verify anything was a pain.<br>
<br>
oddly, i once worked at a place that unloaded a bunch of stuff to them<br>
for what seemed to be 'by the pound' rather than take the trouble to<br>
sell stuff to the employees.<br>

<br>
</div>yeah. i think they're more likely to haggle than halted, and more likely<br>
to have stacks of bits on display (halted might have stacks but maybe<br>
not sitting on the floor).<br>
