Yes, they must think we're stupid. LOL

Nothing is free. Too many people do believe them though. Sad but true. 

Yes they do!  But we know we're NOT!  We're NOT!    (We know that don't we?)

There are no free lunches.

Except "Buy One..Get One Free". The free one is always MINE! :)

What they should say, '' Buy one and you will receive another one at no extra cost'', the item is not free if you have to by a similar item to get it. FREE means FREE with no strings attatched.  The sellers rely on people's gullibility, these are the STUPID ones.

When you get an offer like this, do yourself a favor by calculating the entire cost of service/merchandise in their entirety.  A couple of weeks ago, Team Mobile advertised for 1 day only, free phones for everybody.  The place was packed with people waiting in line to receive the "free" phones.  The fact of the matter is that most of the phones required you to put up an amount equaling the amount of rebate.  If you paid $199 up front and receive a $200 rebate, the phone had to be free, right?  Wrong, innocent breath.  The cost of the phone, firstly, got amortized into the 24 months of commitment, and then came the dagger: to get this deal, you must subscribe to the internet NOT at 2.0 Gigabyte, but rather a more expensive version of 5.2 GB.  Pencil it out, you would end up paying over $300 more within 24 months.  So much for your free phone. 

Make sure you do the math before you sign on the dotted line.

Now I know why the people in line that day at Team Mobile didn't look that smart.  They jumped at the word "FREE PHONE."

I think the idea is, we will want this item so much we will be willing to pay the hidden costs because they seems relatively reasonable and swallow the P&H or whatever.  I don't ever go for those ones where you get two for the price of one, but must pay separate shipping.  I just know the shipping charges are a fraction of the cost that I am asked to pay.  

Gullible.
