We could go on forever like this, Felix... considering taxes, delivery 
fees, regional pricing differences, and the fact I mentioned no brand 
names - you can always find someone out there willing to sell for less, 
or find a product that has manufacturer rebates and cash-back offers, or 
price matching, or closeouts, or whatever, if you know where to look, or 
want to bother.

$42 is 7% of $599, while $60 is 10%... we gonna quibble over 3% on a 
hypothetical?  We both steered in the same direction, and gave correct 
information, which is the whole point.
