There’s a guy who was making a pile of money selling Legos online. Pretty smart. He got his merchandise by visiting Target stores, switching barcodes from cheap Lego sets to more expensive Lego sets and then buying the more expensive set at the cheaper price. The tag switching thing is pretty smart, but doing it only at Target stores was pretty dumb because the folks at Target noticed a pattern and one of their own store security people caught the guy while he was trying to buy 10 sets of the Star Wars Millenium Falcon set. They found a bunch more in his car along with a laptop that had Target stores plotted out on a mapping software. That’s dumb.
