Chuck,
I was watching a show about Wal-Mart last night. One of the things they
talked about was a "LOW COST ITEM". The low cost item would be the best
price anywhere, a $29 microwave etc. Once you stepped up in quality, the
price was probably not the best price in the marketplace. I would guess
many of the box stores use this marketing strategy.



Sears used to be famous for this years ago. Super advertised deal on
something but when you showed up to buy it, "it" was out of stock. Then the
pressure was on to buy the better, higher priced item instead.

Way before WalMart was even thought of.
