Your understanding of sales is wrong.
To say that all sales are local to a particular retailer flies in the
face of reality. Many manufacturers offer sale prices; just watch TV
to see many of them. Sales can be for any time those offering e sales
want them to be; 1 day, a week, a month, six months, until stock is
gone, whatever.

Hundreds of people are waiting
