I'm trying to recall the Mancini Mattress (Bay Area) ad -- something like "If we can't beat the price, the mattress is free!" I'm thinking ... ohhh... I bet they always somehow manage to beat the price!
- karthikb 8y agoMany stores will have custom SKU or model IDs, so a mattress that is physically identical and cheaper somewhere else is actually a different product per the paperwork...
- rrauenza 8y agoEven if they didn't (and they do!), I'm pretty sure they'd sell it for a penny cheaper rather than make it free. The claim in the ad was nonsensical..
- franze 8y agowell, if 2 people need a mattress it's easy: person A buys mattress. sells it to person B for 1 cent person B (or A, not disclosed in ad) gets mattress for less then 1c A&B split total cost
- artificial 8y agoYes, the way they do that is having specific mattresses that are only produced for them. So for example, let's call it Dreamliner XL 2000, this mattress isn't manufactured by anyone else, even if there are Dreamliners sold by other vendors it isn't that model, hence the bold claim. Whee!
