Say what you want about Zellers, but the utter exploitation I made of their yellow tag pricing policy was awesome. Either their prices were ridiculously high, or inexplicably low.
I will never forget the day I picked up $400 10 gallon Coleman upright air compressors, with 13 piece tool kits ad hoses, for $25 each. The hoses were worth 25 bucks FFS. They were marked on clearance for $99 which was already insane, and yellow tags that weekend were an additional 75% off. I bought every one in Calgary I could find (I think it was 13), and got $150 a pop on Kijiji. And gave away 5 as gifts. I borrowed my dads truck to get them all, and the look on my dads face was priceless when he saw all these Compressors in the back of his truck. He thought I went insane... but was very happy when I gave him one as the truck rental fee. I will miss Zellers and their incoherent pricing model.
