I would like to point out that I am in no way trained in the the dark arts of being and Economist, however I am rather cheap and observant. These are the only credentials that I need in order to write this post.
Four years ago when I got my full time Web Development job in Montreal after 8 years in England, I was buying a brand new Toyota Matrix and needed some winter tires. After getting the feeling that the dealer was not exactly giving me the best possible deal, I looked around me and quickly noticed that I knew at least 4 other people with the same car. So being the cheap guy that I have become (too many years working with tight Scots), I walked into our local tire store and asked him if he offered any discounts for 4 sets. He didn’t quite understand what I wanted at first but when I said that I was going to buy 16 winter tires on rims and need them installed all on the same day, his eyes lit up. I had just done all of his selling work and his only possible reaction was to give me a good price. Well 4 years down the road and I’m back in his little shop with 5 new Mazda 5s, no I am not about to break into any songs, but I will say this: Zoom Zoom, we got our deal again.
