Why do prices always end up with .99??
Answer:
It is also a marketing practice to price with $ x.99, so the customer has the perception of paying the lowest whole dollar-which means cheaper (when it's not!). For example an item which costs $2.99 can be considered a psychological manipulation to make it look as if it still costs $2 , but not yet $3! The reality is , the customer is in fact paying the next whole dollar,and the purchase is really costing more, and over $3 if VAT is seperately charged (as in Canada). Some countries have abolished 1 cents, so u can never get 1 cent change back!
Imagine how much profits the firms in these countries are making from all the accrued 1cents change they kept for themselves?
to trick the customer to think they are saveing money, when they are n,t. ,i learned that from callage.
To make counting change easier, what with the introduction of the 99 cent coin. You know, the one with Elvis on it.
I like the Elvis Idea. Wal-mart has trumped the x.99 and prices many things at x.88
It's to make it look like the product is a lot cheaper then it actually is
