I reserve my most significant distain for those businesses, individuals, or government agencies which extract more from the individuals who are unaware that a better solution is available, usually for less effort and less money.
Average buyer beware. Knowledgeable buyer, salesman beware.
They are out to get your money at minimal expenditure on their part, that's why they are in business.
Why is it separately priced if you always have to pay it?
Service contracts are designed to maximize profit margin.
An average comsumer paying list price is designed to offset payment of discounted price by a small number of knowledgeable consumers.
They count on you not going to the effort to mail in the coupon and get the rebate.
Don't think that buying from the most popular and biggest business will get you the best bang for the buck. Buying from the best supplier with the least price is the best way to get ahead.
The best solution is not always the cheapest.
Consider the phase "its perfectly adequate".
