	This is reasonable as long as the price that is advertised is the
	regular price.

Another example of this kind of ripoff occurs in magazines like PC and Byte.
These places with full page ads listing prices on the framus 900 PC gizmo
look pretty good, until you see the fine print hidden somewhere that the
prices are for cash, or represent a cash discount.  The notion of a "regular
price" is about as bogus as a "list price".
