Well, dont let us wait, or make a call to find out, please tell all?
PS i hope you were not making it sound really dramatic casue when you say $29.95 we say "oh.....thats 15% more than retail...I suppose that is a little over priced, and then it may loose its ourrageous punch.

Surely they've made a mistake. If not the Dept of Fair trading should find out about it. That is pure robbery.

Let me tell you how, in the late 80's, BMW were a much more prestigious brand in Australia due to there being very few BMW's around. These days it seems every second car is a 3 series. Anyway dad had a 535 E28 and at the time it was an 80k car so it was a bit of a head turner. So he goes in for a service. The guys throw on a brand new exhaust tip set (or something like that I cant remember exactly the part) and then the original quoted price was exceeded by a lot when it came to paying. Dad asked why and the guy said something like "it will look much nicer, the old ones were looking dull, they sound good etc, etc.." trying to build the sale obviously which is fine, but not after the job is done. So dad says to take em off and put the old ones on to which the guy heavily protested cause it ended up ruining the new ones and made them unsaleable. So if dad was less argumentitive and under less financial pressure the guy probably would have made the extra sale, and given his boldness it was not the first time it worked for him. And that my friends is how you sell an item at 5 to 10 times market value.
