Surely everyone knows the basic principles of a clearance sale. Old editions, old hardbacks, damaged books and occasional buyer errors (500 copies of the Frankie Dettori biography, anyone?) are the rule of the day. So why is there always one smartarse who comes up and asks something along the lines of "Do you have Snakehead in this sale?"
Still two days to go...

Also to be found over the final days of clearance, things from that weird inventory grey area of "fuck it, I'll just put it in a box under the stairs" that really ought to be dealt with before stocktake. Are there any sweeter words that "Dumpstering deadline"
I really feel like I should contribute more here, but I've not spoken to a customer in about three months. Though yesterday a tramp asked me if I was a store detective.
I managed to get the spangly, brand new Tamara Drewe hardback for the grand total of 65 pence, when a copy with a damaged cover made its way into a box (it really was a coincidence).
That's cheaper than reading a single episode in the Guardian. I'm quite pleased.
Oh, and the Frankie Dettori biography is now being given away free with every purchase.
Ok, I thought the 500 copy shtick was a joke...
