[QUOTE="Old Hilly, post: 679196, member: 25938"] About 70 years ago, back when I was rather young, my mother got a job at "Waltons", a department store on, I think, George Street, near the Town Hall, in Sydney. She got paid overtime to go round putting new price tickets on stock for sale. They would mark the stock up by more than double it's original price and the ticket would say "50% off!". Things sold like hot cakes! Stuff that was selling slowly, or not moving at all, flew out the door because it was "on sale". This is nothing new...Retailers have had lots of practice at being sneaky bastards but consumers are just fed up with it now and calling them out. [/QUOTE]
