[QUOTE="moldyderp, post: 7664191, member: 6775182"] LOL I can't believe we're discussing this. If there isn't another price you can compare it with, why would that by default make it a "good" price? That doesn't make any sense. It could just as well be a "bad" price. It's not defined as "good" because there is no alternative. Nor is "best price available" the same thing as "good" price.
