Sheesh, you guys haven't heard about this?  |
No, it is inflationary posting. Much like that $49 room at Motel 5.9 that lists the daily room value on the back of the door as $159.
The phone, and everything else, is only worth what some sorry ******* is stu......willing to pay for it.
Anybody can afford to give you a 50% discount when the item is marked up 70-75% over cost. You really don't think retailers discount articles as much as advertise, do you?
