Some People Do Have Too Much Money

If they can spare the money to buy something like this.[^] for $63,999.99 (notice the 0.01 off the price). Conspicuous consumption seems to have no limits. Like something else I know is limitless.[^]

Your previous post comes to mind. How much money do you spend on mind-altering drugs everyday? :-D
I'm not saying it's so, but cannot one also make a good living from said substances?* * Yet I still don't buy/wear heavy gold chains.

From Costco? Does that mean you can buy them in bulk? Like a whole crate worth of baseballs signed by Babe Ruth?
I suggest you place an order for three and see what happens next. (? ? ? if they don't have enough, will they make more ? ? ?)

The .99 is a holdover from mechanical cash registers. It forced the clerk to open the drawer and return a penny change, thus reducing employee theft.

Not likely. All the employee had to do was keep a few pennies with them. I worked with Point-of-Sale in a business very prone to employee theft (Dry Cleaning Software). There were several anti-theft protocols, depending upon how the store was operated. To do something akin to what you speak of, they posted a sign "$5 credit if you don't get your receipt" which forced the employee to ring up the sale to generate a receipt. the .99 is just like the price of gasoline, for example $1.999/gal . It give the impression of being lower in cost then $2.00/gal. All psychological. New/Used car prices, etc. One store, Costco I believe, actually uses them to encode a products fate. I forgot the rules, but if it ended in .97 it was being discontinued, in .99 it wasn't, and some others. Maybe a different store. It's all marketing. Social engineering.
