Yes exactly Franklee.

The point of this on a money saving thread is that people who are new to things often don't know what questions to ask up front or what charges are usual and acceptable.

A huge amount of money can be saved by learning from other peoples' mistakes so why not leave room for cautionary tales.

If you always do what you've always done you'll always get what you've always got.

culturejammer: and they'll either chase it, or get hit by it and look peed off
culturejammer: i now use that system to value prices of things
culturejammer: for example, a thirty dollar game has to be at least as awesome as three thousand catpennies
