Why Is It That Most Gun Shops Sell Guns for Something99?

[Gunfinish]

So what's the deal? 399.00 not 400.00, 599.00 not 500.00, 999.00 not 1,000.00, 1299.00 not 1,300.00 and the list goes on and on!

It's a common practice in retail sales. I've heard it's because an item seems to be (psychologically) much cheaper if it is listed at .99 instead of 1.00.

 

[DONOTBUGME]

399 makes you think 300 and sounds a lot less expensive than 400

Ya'll nailed it, psychological manipulation for all the blonde consumers.

That is exactly why they do it.

gas stations are the worst, they do it to squeeze an extra 9/10 of cent out of you. All thier prices, for example, are $2.30 & 9/10 of a cent (basically $2.31).

I'll take two at that price.

Maybe that particular reason has to do with how they do the accounting for OPEC and oil companies?

Still bloody stupid I say. The Rock Pizza place though, whole dollars. So much easier to deal with...except their lunch buffet is $7.99 lol.

Wife says, "So...I see you bought another gun.!?"
Hubby says,"That's right there was a big sale and I moved up my purchase."
Wife says; "Well! There goes another $500 that could have paid for Junior's College"
Hubby says; "He's a 37yr old meathead, works at McD's and watches porn all day, the only way he's going to college is as a tissue sample. Besides, after my discount..
....................Pick one; A) it was a barely over $300.($379.95)."
.....................................B) it was just a bit over $300.($389.97)."
.....................................C) it was well under $400.($399.98)."
.....................................D)it was less than $400.(399.99)."

$2.39977383 (but we see... Yup, $2.39)

Just imagine how much more enraged you would be if you paid in Gold for every purchase? Please; bury your head in the sand and leave it there

 

[Stomper]

Too many people have their heads buried somewhere else...

OPTION E: "Honey, I only used three Franklins for it."
Misleading but true. Eventually she'll catch on, unless she's of the @Stomper-Blonde category.
If she's a @Stomper-blonde , she'll come home and say,

Her: "Honey, look at the new necklace you bought me!"
You: "Wha? How much?!!"
Her: "I only used 4 Clevelands for it!"

Like this, but the $1000.00 note is no longer in circulation.

ETA: Sorry guys, I should explain that I work in a Cash Office/Cage and deal with currency every day. Trying to use a 1K note would get the Secret Service/Dept. of the Treasury called. The $100 note is the largest legal tender in circulation.

if they want to round down to play psycological mind games then make it a nickle which is still actually worth something. Giving you a penny in change is like rubbing salt in the wound...

I got it for under $400 my bubblegum.... ($399.99)

 

[Stomper]

Nothing beats:


1.
It was on SALE, I couldn't afford NOT to buy it!



2.
Yes I know it cost $399.99, but it was half off so I saved YOU money!

More war on drugs stupidity. There is no end to it.

Back in the Early Pleistocene it was found that Little Golden Books sold better @ $0.29 than @ $0.25.
Go figure.
