Do you hate it when people pick a price $1 above their competitor's on The Price is Right?

Well I guess it is fair, but it just gets on my nerves.  I mean, come up with your own dang bid!  I also hate it when they get to the showcase showdown and the contestant stares off into the audience FOREVER trying to decide their price.  And then, nine times out of ten, they are no where even close!

A fool and his money will soon be parted. why, because its more of a world market and not only that its an auction that makes some difference.\n\nYou know if its right or wrong.\n\nI don't necessarily think its right though either....but I am not going to judge you....if you are making 6 times what you paid for it,and you run across the item alot....I am just wondering why everyone else isn't doing it? maybe thats a rare example on your part,and maybe as I said as well it is rare in the country that bought it....I am just glad it wasn't me...because I would be pretty upset....I mean reverse roles here,and put yourself in the buyers shoes....even if its an auction....which I dislike anyway....because that in itself opens many doors for abuse in and of itself.

it all depends on the starting bid and how much you're asking for it.  I believe for 0.01 to 9.99 is 0.25 and 9.99-19.99 is 0.35 and so on.

The first thing anybody would see before clicking on a product on E-Bay is the headline for a product.  If it doesn't appeal to them in the first microsecond, they probably won't click on it.  Just my 2 cents, as I don't know what you're selling.

The fees the retailer pays to accept the card outweigh any profit they might make on the transaction - they really mean "  No - that isn't worth my while"

You question should be...\n\nWhy am I waiting in long queues, pay $3.53 and receive awful snotty service just to enjoy a Starbucks coffee?

Yeah, I mean, it all spends the same, right?  LOL. Yeah, I pick up change off of the ground. I work retail so when I find change lying around the store I pick it up and put it on the registers.  People are always coming up a few cents short or looking for exact change. Anything in dollar form though I have to turn in.  LOL.

Very simply - GREED. Go to the local shops and support them. You never know their prices could well be cheaper now.

No. Sometimes doing what you hate is the price you need to pay to do what you love.

It's psychological.  Most prices end in $.99.  You see a sweater you like and it's on sale for $24.99.  You think $24 is an ok price.  The sweater actually costs $25.  It's the same with gas.  The 9/10 at the end makes you think the gas is $2.94 a gallon when it really costs $2.95.  Vendors will use any trick they can to get people to buy.

I can't believe people actually did that.\n\nI had to work on Friday (I work at a meat packing plant...this is our busy season).\n\nLike you, Raven, I hate to shop.  I do all my Christmas shopping online.\n\nWhat kind of sale is so good, that someone has to camp out the night before to save how much on a gadget that will be that same price in a month or two?\n\nThe Big Boxes (Wal Mart, Best Buy, Bed Beth) all got together and said "HEY!  We can take advantage of Black Friday lunacy!"\n\nAnd people fell for it.

greed,       supply and demand... If you have something that alot of people want they will pay for it.  You as the seller thinks, I wounder if I can get .25 more cents so you raisee the price and people still come and but it, then you rais it another .25   Its kind of like the gas prices right now.   we are stuck with having to pay alot for if we want to keep or cars.

This seems to be the general consensus:\nBecause gas companies are trying to make money. By throwing that extra 9/10ths of a cent on the price it sounds 1 cent cheaper yet it is close to being 1 cent more. Say for instance that gas is $1.00 9/10ths per gallon (which is truly 1.009 per gallon) This is very cheap for gas but it will prove my point. Now if you bought 1 gallon, it would cost you $1. Now if you by 2 gallons you would expect it to cost $2. But it cost $2.02 because the 1.009 and the other 1.009 added give you 2.018 which in money rounds to 2.02 So by doing this the gas company is making two cents. This may sound like a small amount but most people buy more than 2 gallons and the .009s added up to make more cents. So if you bought 20 gallons of \ngas at $1 per gallon it would end up costing $20.21 roughly. For the millions of people buying gas this extra money turns into thousands of dollars. You may ask why not just make it $1.01 per gallon instead of $1.00 but this would make it sound like more money than!it is. It is just like stores charging 9.99 instead of 10.00. Nine \nsounds a lot better than ten and the same applies to gas companies. Its just the \ngas companies sneaky way of making more money.\n\n\nNOTE: despite my source, I don't think this was a stupid question.

It is a rip off.  Their "no late fee" is just an advertising ploy.  You still get charged a late fee...they just changed the name of the fee to a restocking fee so they can't get into legal trouble and  yet can still collect the money.  I honestly don't think there is a thing you can do about it.  We got caught in it too right after they first televised the "no late fee" campaign.
