French Auchan began selling “Mystery carts”
These are baskets wrapped in opaque film with various goods inside. They ask for from 50 to 200 euros. Inside are unsold appliances, household goods and accessories. In the store, similar products usually cost three times more than the buyer pays for the cart.
Store managers report that the promotion is incredibly popular. They started with 30 carts a day, and now they sell 500.
