A rich friend of mine was like that to some degree. As he was comparing prices and features on a product one day, he asked my opinion. I replied that he could easily afford any of the choices so just pick the one with the best features. Why worry about price/performance and such?
His reply was interesting...he said "It's the hunt." Yes, he could buy whatever he wanted. But he found the enjoyment out of buying was the comparison shopping and deal finding. So the purchase process was just as important to him than the item he was buying. -- Bruce Wednesday, October 25, 2006, 4:12:40 PM, you wrote: DIS> On 26/10/06, John Celio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> There were >> people I knew for a fact were extremely well off who would try to haggle us >> down on the price of a camera, even though they weren't buying anything else >> nor had they ever been a customer before.
