One of the disadvantages of having as many e-mail addresses as I have is that you tend to get a lot of duplicate mail, especially advertising.
But that can sometimes make for an interesting experience.
Witness ye this ad from Smith Micro Software, which arrived in one of my inboxes this past Friday, August 20:
Yes, I can purchase Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for just $49.99, ten dollars off the "regular" price of $59.99. In fact, I had contemplated purchasing that very product.
Now I'm not so sure.
Direct your attention, if you will, to this ad, which came to another of my multiple accounts this very afternoon:
Yes, if I respond to this offer, I can purchase Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for a mere twenty dollars more than in the other ad: $69.99...which Smith Micro still would have me believe is, yep, ten dollars off the "regular" price, which they now say is $79.99.
I have a couple-three mailboxes that I haven't checked today. If one or more of them contains a Smith Micro ad for Roxio Easy VHS to DVD, is it your guess that the "regular" price will be higher than the two "regular" prices indicated in these ads, or lower?
Doesn't exactly make a fellow want to whip out his credit card, does it?
