Title: Airlines have a good source of merchandise and they sell it here !
Post by: MovieMan on April 18, 2011, 09:07:04 AM

This is an Associated Press story in today's (4/18/2011) papers. When I looked it up with google, the first
listing was from an Australian paper.  ??? The outlet is in Scottsboro, Alabama. A long trip for the Austrailian readers !

Here's the link. If you live near this ONE outlet you could pick up a good deal and resell it. Funny that items from all over the usa probably then get on a plane again (or certainly a truck) to go to Alabama.

Have been there, they have some stuff to great prices, but alot of the stuff you almost pay retail price on. I don't see the point in that.

In Norway they have auctions at the airport 4 times a year, then you go there and bid on each suitcase. Price converted from NKR to USD is on avarage about 65 dollars a suitcase. To me thats much more exciting then going to a store and buy it.
