What do you think a fair price for a Prince should be?

Lets see..............you know, I`m not sure what the going rate is at the moment.

Where is my 12 days of Christmas app!

Blame it on the whiners who gave 1 star reviews because they "didn't like the apps" as to why it's not happening

Considering the fact that I see stores do things like this quit often. Or do not forget about woot and it's bag of crap.

Bag of crap people have been known to get TVs from them.

The reason it is not done here in the USA or else where is it is not part of our cultural. It is part of Japan and mix with stores want to get ride of all last year's stuff. Easiest way to do that was put it in a bag deep discount and make it completely random what people get.

What store has ever done that? I've only seen Secret Santa things but they are always tied to informal or private gatherings. Kind of like playing poker with your buddies.

It is cultural but it's also against the law with many tiny loopholes like the lottery, casinos and even the Elks clubs across the country.

To everyone who asked why this isn't done in (insert country that isn't Japan), it's because lucky bags are part of Japanese culture. They don't have a Black Friday sale, they have this.

It's not Apple that does this, almost every store does.
