haha not really but I almost got one at the price! My LFS had one about 3" for 79.99 which is already a great price! The owner bagged it up and handed it to his son to ring up and told him "it's 79.99". The guy has an accent so the son heard 7.99. I bought some aquarium sand and crickets which shoulda been about $120 but it came out to $37 and some change.. I was like :WHOA:!
I felt bad for the kid so I asked him how much he charged me for the fish. He said 7.99... omg I was so tempted to just walk away but I couldnt :irked:!
I need to be more of an a hole I swear! :grinno:

Good for you for being honest!!!! But the owner should have taken like 40-50% off, just for you being so nice...You could have walked out with a $80.00 fish for 8 bucks..

Way to do the right thing! Although, 7.99 for a arapaima kinda wants to make you go to the evil side....:D

My LFS has a buy 3 get the fourth fish free policy. I had a 10 dollar off coupon. They had a tankfull 0f 3-4 inch frontosas for 24.99 each. I had the guy bag four and brought them to the register, the cashier rang them up and said my total was 5 and some change. The guy in the back marked the bag at 4.99 x's 3 and I had the 10 dollar off coupon. I almost walked out the door with 75 dollars of fish for 5 bucks, but the guilt kicked in. I informed the cashier they were mismarked and she called the manager for a void. He thanked me for my honesty and only charged me for 2 of the fronts. The next time I went into the store the kid who mismarked the bag thanked me by giving me about 20-30 extra feeders, he also always comes to me asking if I need help right away everytime Im in the shop. I guess honesty is the best policy
