Staples was named New York's official office-supplies vendor in May 2013.
Besides state agencies, those able to order under the contract include city
halls, schools, police departments and many charities.
To win the three-year contract, Staples agreed to sell 219 popular items at
a penny apiece. It hoped to turn a profit from thousands of other items that
weren't on sale.
The one-cent bargains ranged from a 12-pack of chalk with a list price of $1
.01 to an $1,100 paper shredder, and included products such as a high-
capacity computer flash drive and a 72-pack of C batteries.
Staples delivered penny items with a list-price value of $22.3 million in
the contract's first few months, for which it was paid $9,300, documents
provided by the state show. (List prices in office supplies typically are
inflated; discounts from list prices are the norm.)
Staples declined to comment on its pricing strategy.
Ms. Sitone of the Cerebral Palsy Association says she thought at first the
penny pricing was a mistake, but when she found out otherwise "it was a free
-for-all." The agency ordered "a thousand of everything."
Ms. Sitone got $74,000 in one-cent items, now stored in a trailer, for less
than $70, including, she says, 200 cans of Dust-Off that nobody wants, and
enough pens—24,000—that "we'll be set for life."
Five went to the home of Mary Ede, a purchasing employee with the Kenmore-
Tonawanda schools who was allowed to order for her personal use. She said
she gave a shredder to each of her four adult children, and kept one. Hers
has since broken.
"I would have been more upset if it was the actual cost," she said. "For a
penny, I'll throw it out." | s*****e
