Default Advertised prices or not?

Depends on the product. Retail prices can vary so much that a
manufacturer can only give a suggested price. Some products can vary
wildly with options. Some ads with prices are sort of misleading too.
You can by this new Lamborghini for only $129 a month, but the fine
print says you need a $130,000 down payment.

If truly interested, I can Google the item and have a ball park price in
seconds. OTOH, most full page ads for a product are not worth my time.


I think there is even an app. for that.
