Got Wii Sports for $1 at a thrift store like that, whereas their glassware was usually significantly above comparable eBay listings (despite the labels sometimes claiming otherwise). Unfortunately, at least where I live, the odds of computer stuff showing up are few and far between.

They have stickers which tell you they're cheaper than eBay when that's actually not the case? Isn't that illegal?

It's only false advertising if they can't find a single ebay listing with a higher price.

At least, if they worded it carefully like, "cheaper than ebay!"
