This reminds me of the Apple ad I saw a few years ago for the Apple II. They
had a little footnote next to the price which read:
This is the suggested retail price. You may pay more if you really want
to. Or less.
I was tempted to bring the ad into an Apple dealer and say, in a loud voice,
"I want to pay less!"
