All you got to do is tell them to F**k themselves if you don't like the
deal. I don't see the problem here. God, have we all turned into such
bed wetting children that we think we need to call in the Feds to
protect us from every little thing? If you don't like the deal, don't
buy the merchandise. It's not like they got a gun to your head. Grow a
pair and hang up the phone if you don't like the price.
