In sales I found it was much more of a adversarial game people play than any real need to save money. If I go to a store, I expect to pay the price the product is valued at by the market. I don't create an artificial 'need' for a price of 10-20% less than retail so that I can afford to buy more toys. Nor do I look at stuff in a local store then cross-shop it with any other retailer, online or in a LGS, to find a better price.It's not a big deal. I know plenty of people who I consider friends who are like that. I just find it annoying. Sure, I get satisfaction out of getting a deal. But I know people who will show me something they bought and the first thing they say about it is 'I only paid $30 and it was $50 at Jim's Dungeoneering Shop!'</blockquote>
