The LEGO Refill

I was doing some buying with a distributor. They had what was called a LEGO refill. A LEGO refill was a thousand pieces of LEGO in a plain cardboard box at an incredible price. So I ordered one to give it a try.

No one bought it. Most people when they buy toys, they throw the packaging away, but even though this was a deal there were no takers.

After having it in stock for two years I finally put it in the window with a sign on it that very plainly explained how good a deal it was. Three weeks later someone bought it.

The next day, three people came in asking if we had any more of them. I guess the population at large just has a very slow nervous system. Not you, of course.
