There's always competition and sales people always have per-approved discounts etc etc to close sales. Make use of it and make them use them on you. Always haggle. You're a fool if you don't!

It's petty.



I'd be VERY cautious personally about throwing those types of "related incident" accusations around. LEB/LET always seems to get whacked by idiot attackers, it's the nature of...
