I've not been part of the car pricing exchange that has gone on here, but it really is simple. Put the price on the car. Customer buys it, or does not. I don't need to know what each option costs. IDGAS. I either want the clear coat protection, or I don't. I'd like to know what options are on the vehicle, but what they cost is meaningless.
What I don't like is the bullshit airlines, tire stores, concert ticket sellers, and everyone else does, of selling you something that is $100.00 and paying $300.00 by the time they add their bullshit on. Just say it's $300.00 and be done with it. |

Reminds me of when the C8 first came out and soo many people were butthurt about markups. It just meant there were people willing to pay more for the car than them, but they wanted it and wern't willing to pay as much as the next guy so they were butthurt. They thought somehow they should get to buy the car for their price ahead of people willing to pay more. Such a selfish, narrow minded view. |

So is "fair" the most someone is willing to pay or the least? |

You are aware of all the potential add-ons yet you still want a law to protect you from it. I don't get it. |

One day, one day, I you may be put in a position that will illustrate my point. Again, I'm sure you were disappointed that insulin prices dropped. People should have just done without. |

Absolutely every penny needs to be accounted for an an automobile bill of sale. This is required in every state and is signed by the customer. The Truth in Lending Act requires lenders to disclose information about all charges and fees associated with a loan. That paper that accounts for every penny of an auto loan including any fees associated with it and is signed by the customer if a loan is part of the deal. If you get "bamboozled" by someone who is quite literally explaining where every penny of a deal comes from and why it's there, you're an absolute f**king idiot. Libertarian. |

Such trust and a Utopian view of pricing practices.
Sure, it's all fine and on the up and up. It is what it is right? May as well vote for fkn Joe Biden since market values are what they are. Why would we want Trump to fk it all up by halting inflation. Fk inflation. That's the FREE MARKET, baby !! I'm laughing that no one believes there is any such thing as price gouging. |

Does not apply to my statement. My point is that inflation is not even on the table or up for discussion in a Biden/Trump comparison.
The prices we see are what the free market dictates. Joe is a fkn free market hero ! Look what he has accomplished ! I was paying a measly $1.39 for gas but now the market says gas is $3.09 a gallon...because "Merica" and free market !! Eggs were 99 cents a dozen, but thankfully, the free market has gifted me with the ability to pay $4.00 or more for a dozen eggs. Fk, I'm feeling more patriotic by the minute. |

Don't buy anything if you don't like it. Shit, why not sell eggs for 40 bucks each? All it takes is for the egg suppliers to get together and make it so. I'm just thankful for the education I am getting. I had heard about price gouging and even experienced it myself, but it seems that was all a misconception. That was the free market. There is no such thing as price gouging. Now I know. I also thought it was unethical and a horrendous act to raise critical meds from $35.00 to $750.00 for absolutely no reason than "because I can", but I was wrong. That was the free market. How was I so blind? I love this new perspective on ever-increasing prices. It's a great day to be alive and experience this "free market". I'm also appreciative of WalMart's drive to get rid of the little guys that are attempting to interfere with their free market efforts. WalMart knows best and they should be setting the standard. I'm happy that are around. |

Didn't follow that one since I'm not diabetic. But I'm pretty sure the price drop on product A resulted in a price rise on products B-Z. |
