I bought a TomTom One 125 USA GPS Navigator. I asked for "the cheapest model they had", and the guy took out a box with $499 price tag on it. It was the same device stated above. Now I had Googled that Garmin GPSs are available for around $150 or something like that, so my "SPECIAL PRICE" of $199 didn't feel that bad. "Trust me - you can't find this product cheaper anywhere". (Radio Shack is about 200-300 feet away!!!) Of course there was that darn tax added to the amount, so I ended up paying around $217 or something like that. I thought the price was "borderline OK", since we really needed a GPS for our road trip to Florida, and I wanted to buy my own. Got to the hotel and saw the normal price: ~$100 (Wal-Mart etc). So I ended up paying double the price plus the tax. After our little road trip to Florida I actually went back to talk to this little man who had signed "M" as his name on the receipt. I was polite at first, but when he started with the attitude, I did the same. We ended up insulting each other. The I walked away before I would really lose my temper.

I think I learned my lesson in an easiest possible way. I don't even want to know what prices the other customers had already paid, since he really had a price tag of $499 on the box!!! I actually asked him about the BS with the fake price tag, and he said it "wasn't any of my business what the price tag said".
