This reminds me of the Apple ad I saw a few years ago for the Apple II.  They
had a little footnote next to the price which read:

     This is the suggested retail price.  You may pay more if you really want
     to.  Or less.

I was tempted to bring the ad into an Apple dealer and say, in a loud voice,
"I want to pay less!"
