Hey guys, I went to a large national furniture store to purchase a dresser. I was wondering if anyone has seen price manipulation like this before.

The numbers are confusing but thats my point . The dresser was $899 retail on their website with an online sale price of $719. The store was having a 33% off retail price sale but the lady said she would give me 50% off if I purchase a $99 protection warranty. She said $625 for the dresser was 50% off the retail price of $1199 (Dont know where that inflated number came from but it was on my receipt too).

I did not want the $99 extended warranty but to get the "sale price" of $625 I had to buy the warranty or a $199 mattress pad. Lol.

Total bill was $840 with tax and delivery. Went back today and told them I didnt want the warranty and would return the item if they didnt take it off. They took it off and the bill was reduced by $99. Was I being a dick for going back? I felt like they were just messing with the numbers to jack up the price.

Thanks for the responses guys. I didnt even mention that the manager gave me a $25 cash card a few days prior in order to get me to come back. When I presented it at the time of purchase the gal said I couldn't use it cause she already gave me too good of a deal.

Whatever. Didn't know buying furniture has turned into such a shady business.
