99 cents versus whole dollar

[roguejuror]

Does the 99 trick work on you? Are you more willing to buy something thats $9.99 instead of $10.00? $99.99 instead of $100? What about 95 vs 99? Does these subtle little pricing tricks consciously affect your buying decisions?

No...doesn't influence me although I am sure it does many.

 

[FairWarning]

The whole dollar trick works great for me. We can sell at $2.99 but sell much more at 2/$6.00.

not a chance. plus they need to get rid of pennies.

Yes getting rid of pennies was a good thing IMO.

The 99 cent trick has no effect on me. I automatically see everything as the rounded-up even dollar amount.

yeah it could be 2.25 and i still see it as "$3 minus some change" to be honest.
