No Xenophobia involved. I love Sushi and the people who make it. I actually love meeting Foreigners and asking specific questions re their culture. Never know what a person can learn if you take an interest.
I know in some places, Japan and China, a perceived deal on an over priced item is somewhat of a status symbol. Works with some products and may well work with uninformed people that are buying a pool cue, perhaps.
Myself, I wouldn't be looking toward Amazon anyway to purchase a pool cue, but if I ran across an ad such as that, I would probably think, Joke, and not even be tempted to see what other items your company sells. That goes for EBay as well, where you can click on the Sellers Store.
Might very well work on Amazon but try and sell those on AZ Sale Forum in that manner and see how far it goes.
But, the point being regardless is the Jizzler that tried the move on your company is probably a Wanker and makes a habit of that type of action no matter where they deal.
People like that will change price stickers on items hoping for it to slip past the teller.
Almost a funny story. I bought a few fishing supplies last year at Wal Mart.
There was an older couple directly in front of me. I saw that they had a new magazine
in their cart in the little seat where a kid would sit. I wouldn't have nothing of it but for the fact that both of them made a big production of piling a couple of jackets over top
of it to obviously hide it.
They put there other items on the belt for the teller, except for the magazine.
So, when the teller asked them if that was all, I causally asked the man if they were going to pay for the magazine. Huh, what magazine. The one under your outer clothing, that one.
Oh, oh, our mistake, must have forgot that.
