The above is a classic example of "marketing psychology", Now that he's 
hooked, they'll play him like a fish. When he's finally  on land, will he be 
a Bass or a Carp ?? We call'em 'suckers' down here in the swamp. Same thing 
works with sheep, you get them eating out of the bucket--- then lead them 
straight to slaughter.

I've learned over the years, there's no such thing as a *good* deal. Unless 
you are the one controlling the price.
