Do you pay that price without qualm? Do you balk - only to be told " That's what they cost!!"?? Does that work? Do you then pay it??
Example - I went into the new "boutique gun shop" to buy a set of scope rings. They should cost between $20 and $30 dollars. They had the Leupold brand. A good brand. The guy goes to ring them up - $91. Sayyyy whaaaat???
I don't think so - and tell the boy so. "That's what they cost!!". Hmmmmphh .... Maybe on YOUR planet, Sonny.. I walk out, without buying.
I go across the street. To Walmart. They have Weaver brand. ( a good choice - considering they invented the Weaver base mounting system that I have)
$9.
THAT'S " what they cost "....
Well now you aren't going to be able to act smug and superior when you talk about your purchases at the boutique shop. And your friends are going to pity you because you buy things at Walmart.
