Lots of PlayBook accessories on clearance at Staples

I was in a Canadian Staples today getting some ink for my printer and too a look at the clearance table to see if there were any PlayBook accessories on clearance. I was looking for one of the chargers, since they also work for the new phones, but couldn't find any. Just after Christmas I had picked up a couple international chargers for about $4.50 each. I did find a selection of Playbook cases priced from just over $2 for the softshell cases to about $6 for the convertible cases. I bought a soft shell case for my son's PlayBook and a leather sleeve for myself.

The surprise on the clearance table was a selection of incipio iPhone 5 cases. Its not unusual to see iPhone cases on the clearance table, but usually they are more generic brands and for the older models. I don't know what to conclude from this. Perhaps there is a problem with the cases, or they ordered too many, or there is not much demand for them.

You gotta love finds like those.

Yep. Gotta get it while you can.

Just like all consumer goods they have to make room for the latest ! Some places the store mgr decides to make room for new stock coming in ....

Re: Staples at a couple YYC locations I was told it was corp. decision, at another I was told it store mgr decision.

.... Get it while ya can !

Of course they are lol when are they not!

I was at a Staples a few weeks ago and also found a tonne of incipio cases on the clearance table. Thought it was interesting to see. A number of other iphone accessories were there as well.
