Mary and Jane went shopping to buy watches. Mary bought hers in a jewelry shop of repute for 50 dollars. Jane thought she was smarter and got hers for 40 dollars from a street vendor with a portable folding table on the corner (same watch but cheaper). Perhaps there was a defect in that lot as one week later both watches failed. Mary returned hers to the jewelry store for a refund no questions asked. Jane on the other hand could not find the man who sold her her defective watch as he moved away as those with undeclared business operating as fly-by-nights keep on the run. The bottom line is Jane is out 40 dollars and her experience cost more.

One more story. David and Paul needed hotel rooms. David rented his for 100 dollars a night from an agency with local representation. Paul found a pirate operator renting their own units on their own without an infrastructure at 90 dollars a night.

While on vacation Paul's air conditioner went on the fritz. There was no one to talk to. As it was a private unit a change of units not possilbe while in David's case when his cable TV did not get all channels they switched his room. Paul was not happy in the 90 degree heat for the 10 dollars he saved.
