I have to ask ... why not just reduce the price?
I know the answer ... then everyone would get the lower price.
And retailers don't want that. Instead they want to give the illusion of a lower price knowing only a small fraction of consumers will really get it.
Kudos to Best Buy and Office Max for getting rid of the practice.
