I often go through the electronics section of Walmart looking for items that are almost sold out except for the one on display. Displays work just fine. And if you get a manager chances are you will get a discount. Walmart will give you price drops. But you have to get a manager.

I use something along the lines of...
"I've traveled thirty minutes to get this tv I have been eyeballing in your add. However, I see you don't have any in boxes left. I wouldn't mind the display, but I wouldn't want to pay full price for something that is used."

The standard off is 10%. Sometimes if you give them a good story you can get more than that.
