more ways to rip you off? i don't know, but you've got my curiosity up... perhaps just a way to get that extra penny (almost) without actually charging all of it... sort of like $39.99? a way of making you think its cheaper, perhaps... 'look, ma, its only 9 dollars!' ... 'no, jimmy, its 9.99, so its 10 dollars...'
