It's a form of (marketing?) deception, isn't it? One that's been running for so long that it altered how people perceive prices. Am I the only one who doesn't like these kind of practices?
- Bahamut 12y agoI don't either, but my method of countering it is to round the price to the nearest dollar in general.
- Aoyagi 12y agoI think most people do that, question is whether that also negates any subconscious perception modifiers (sorry, I don't know what else to call that). Like when "feel good" commercials make you associate the product with good feelings unless you actively resist that. (Disclaimer: I hate this kind of advertising)
- lamby 12y agoWe would both agree that it's an attempt to alter the _perception_ of the price, but I would find it a struggle to call it a deception.
