Short answer -- Yes, apparently so. If a grocer puts up a sign saying Green Beans, 30 cents each or 3 for a dollar -- people will buy in lots of 3 all day long.

Sure they do if they didn't the marketing folks would come up with something different.




You know that there are smart and dumb professionals.
The smart ones buy descent gear and the dumb ones buy these.
The good ones make some money or something and the dumb ones make v. little or none.

Then there are customers..........

My current favorite is Arm & Hammer's Simply Saline nasal spray. All natural ingredients, about a gram of salt in four ounces of filtered water... for $10. Yeah, I don't mind paying $320/gallon for weak salt water.

Marketing can be a dangerous thing.
Now I am addicted placebos. :(

If people were not gullible, I would not be making a small fortune selling GREEN SOLAR CLOTHES DRYERS.
50 cents worth of polypropolene rope for 9.95 ( plus shipping 4.95)

Not really, but tempting

Have you checked eBay? It's probably already out there. Colors are extra.

Hey guys, It's very rare indeed that someone didn't make a profit on anything you've purchased. Ken

About the digital aerials, it is impossible in Spain to get a digital signal off an analogue aerial, and probably the same in most countries unless you use a dish or cable service. :wink: :wink:


If you're using an old type analog only TV you must use a D-A converter between the antenna and TV.
