You better go back to your car dealer and start kicking up that shit storm now. Except you won't know what to raise hell about because the costs are hidden, and they aren't stupid enough to point out what you got overcharged for...that wouldn't make them any money.

See the salesmen make their money off of commission and they get a nice percentage off fo the "product" that they sell you as does the finance manager you sat with in the office to conclude the deal.

Car sales are VERY detailed in how they work. Everything is planned out from the moment you drive onto the lot to the time you walk out smiling with a new car. And yes, you spent thousands more than what was neccessary. Everybody does. It's how they do business.

Not saying that crazy x-sells are good. Just saying, that you are wrong about things you buy everyday. I can't speak for other businesses. But I can for new car sales. And for used car sales which is a different monster. And also for boat sales at a marina as one of my brothers left car sales and bought a marina where he can "whack" you even better. Standard practice in high dollar retail. Just a different method of doing it.

In the end..a Good Deal is when both sides are happy and THINK they got a "good deal" Kinda hard to have customer satisfaction if I as an affiliate started telling my surfers that they some sites will screw them. That leads to overall suspicion. Just like retail sales will NEVER reveal business practices to the general public.

The price I agreed with him is the price I paid. He didn't try to make me take warranties or whatever coz I already had one. He didn't try put a service deal on top, he didn't bullshit me in any way at all. Yes I probably made them a nice profit but he's not gonna sell it to me at cost. He needs to earn money.

At the end of the day I walked away with a car that was sitting on the forecourt a few grand more expensive than what I paid. I was happy. How the hell you can compare that to a guy signing up for a $1 trial to a porn site and finding $120 on his credit card come the end of the month. You might know the car business and I'm not gonna argue with you about that, but by the sounds of it you certainly dont know how a surfer feels when they find they paid 120 times more for something.

Imagine I signed a deal for my new BMW and eventually paid millions for it? See where I'm going? Yes car dealers make profits, but so what.. I know the final price I pay for my car and I'm happy with that. Surfers don't know the final price they will pay for their subscription.
