This isn't a new idea, it's been around sinde Reagan, and the consensus is that it's just non-viable.

You mean decacelsius?

lapse in quality control

Right, that's what that was.

It was actually completely unrelated to the revolution. Voltaire was dead for a decade by the time the whole thing kicked off.

Careful, a few weeks ago I was told anyone saying "warm water port" is Russian.

Are they? Or are they just switching to LNG?

...DO YOU HEAR ME? A TASETLESS-

It's not very much like Arcanum, though. Arcanum and Planescape are moer or less straight RPGs, Disco Elysium is practically a variant of a point and click adventure.

The English version often includes the name, it's a literary reference.

have a negative view of the US which in itself means they are very biased.

Man, if I wrote a character saying this, I'd be rightfully called a hack...

"We don’t allow people to attack others based on their protected characteristics, such as their nationality or religion.

Didn't they remove this for Russians two yeaes ago?

The problem isn't the effect, the problem is you don't seem to understand what it actually does. The idea is to reduce the price in such a way that a small discount appears larger, increase sales, and make the reduction back in volume. It works, and makes sense, and is done, if and only if you compete on price and trade in volume.

Your title is, at the time of writing: "People live their whole lives watching corporations end prices with 99 yet when they list their own items for sale they choose a whole round number and never question it." This thread is full of people giving you reasons why they don't or wouldn't do that, meaning they clearly do question it, and are deciding against it.

Not if the intention is to make it look expensive. Bugatti's don't sell fot 499999.

No, this is proving the use case different: Your logic would put the car at 9995, to present it as cheap. The actual advice is to put it at 12000, higher, to present it as expensive, and then "allow" the buyer to haggle you down.

You mean 5$ less

Yeah, no citations is suspect, 15 citations is usually well funded bullshit.

Placeholder, more like. "Setzen" means, literally "to place". "ersetzen" is "to place instead of", and "ersatz" is "the thing that is used instead of".

"Ersatz" in English is basically adopted to mean "make-do replacement". A swamp cooler is an erzats air conditioner, for example.
