Just the FACTS - Just the FACTS Mr Fretwell.
The statement "up to 30% of the dossier may have bull****" means
perhaps as little as .0001% of the dossier was bull****.

You know how advertisers like to advertise "up to 30% off" and when
you get to the store they have a rack of shirts they couldn't sell for
$10.00 for the last five years (they are so uggly or ill fitting)
marked down to $6.99 and the biggest discount in the rest of the store
is 5% on a package of shoelaces????



Or do like a man I know at a farmers market.

He could not sell something for $ .25 each after about 2 hours, so he
marked through that on his sign and made it 3/100. Sold most of what he
had.

Sounds fake, but I saw it hapen.

One of my suppliers had a clear tape that was priced at something like a
dollar while the name brands were $3. Could not sell any. Took it off
the market and came back a month later at $2.25 and it sold out in no
time.

Many years ago my sideline was selling and installing storm doors,
windows, small siding jobs. I had a couple of brochures with photo and
this guy wanted a colonial style storm door. My main supplier also sold
to Sears.

I showed him a photo and the price was $65 for the same door,different
name, Sears had for $100. He said no, I want the same as Sears. Oh,
then you want this one, pulling out a different brochure. I can do it
for $85. He was elated. So was I.

People think they are only getting a bargain if the price is high enough.
