Wait, that example doesn't seem quite right either. Wouldn't it be more akin to: Guy1: How much for that couch? Me: 30 bucks. Guy1 goes to the garage sale next door. Sees the same couch for cheaper. Guy1 returns. Guy1: Same couch is 20 bucks next door. How much for your couch again? Me: 20 buck

The company is certainly allowed to price things however they like. But I personally refuse to give my business to a company that I have to be worried about gouging me every chance they get (unless I have to due to monopoly, but will switch at the very first opportunity). There is a difference bet
