Everything on TV is $19.95 or multiple payments of. What’s up with that?

Personally, I think if you buy ANYTHING you see advertised on TV for that price you get what you deserve.

It's a psychological price point. $19.95 SOUNDS like it's a lot cheaper than $20 and people are more apt to buy it, even though it's on a 5 cent difference.

Personally, I think it's all the governments doing. Sort of covert money collections.

I tend to agree with JBrazen. They’re just tickling the brain a bit.
