Is this a good deal?

What CRACTT weighs

• Reference price reality

  Inflated 'was' prices are the most common trick in retail.

• Typical street price

  What the item or service actually trades for, not what the tag says.

• Negotiation room

  Categories where asking reliably works, and the line to use.

• Strings attached

  Bundles, contracts, and restocking fees that erase the savings.

FAQ

Does it work for services and quotes?
