Several years back while I was having a heck of a time with my 25 year old Kenmore sewing machine, hubby told me to go price machines and the following weekend we would go get one.
Well I chose a Viking sewing machine on sale for $600. While the lady was telling me the features, hubby was walking around the store and "playing" with other machines and talking to the owner of the store. To make a long story short, I walked out of the store with a $6,000 sewing / embroidery machine. The owner said in all his many years of business he Never had a person come in for a $600 machine and walk out with such an expensive one in a matter of a few hours. :) :)
That was one day I'll always cherish.
