in this area, this price thing got very common. I'd say as hi as 35% of the ads would be listed lower than the price being ask by the seller, any time I called there price would be the hi price,
often it was only a 10$ difference. butt at times it would be a 40% difference, It began to look like C/L was doing this. I would ask the seller of course they didn't know about it. ( so They say)
which than made me wonder if there in a sale groups that tells them to list low and sell hi. the catcher to get you to open the add. all this seems to have stopped over this last year.
I have told some that I won't buy from adds like this, you better pay a bit more attention to your listings.
