10 of the Worst Sales Ever! (and 1 of the best)

In the spirit of Follow Friday, a little impromptu post inspired by a tweet I saw today from @kn0thing, where he'd linked to a photo he called the "Worst. "˜Sale.' Ever." Guess what? Turns out, there are a bunch more floating around online.

1. Worst. "Sale." Ever.

The photo that inspired the post: Yep, this XBox Guitar Hero World Tour was originally £144.99, until this store had the bright idea to mark it down to £144.98. Typo? Here's hoping some blokes weren't taken in by the false advertising hype.

2. Wal-Mart Cares

From Reid Kerr, we get this great find from his local Wal-Mart. Here he is, in his own words:
