Walmart "snitch" line sticker on G1 Prime exclusive
As the title says.
I was at my local Walmart the other day and found a sticker attached to each G1 Prime reissue. This was a restock of Prime, as they had 1 left last week, with no sticker, and then this week they had at least 8 with the sticker.
I get that it is an exclusive to Walmart and they are doing this to obviously protect that exclusivity. However is this item really of that high a demand/value that this is even necessary? I also understand this is more to do with competitors selling their products, but really who is going to do that? TRU? Canadian Tire?
What, are they going to send out staff to buy up a bunch of Primes at retail price so they can resell them at an even higher mark up?
If we are talking about online retailers like CMD Store I can't see what legal leg they would have to stand on since they allow third party sellers on their website to sell pretty much whatever they want. At insane prices to boot. Even if they are selling the product themselves. They also clearly don't stop them from buying product off their website and resell it themselves.
Finally, the sticker itself appears to be on the outside of the box, so I guess someone could just as easily peel it off and who would know when shopping at another location/site.
Strange.
