2: you sir have besmirched your underpants.While you are googling "besmirched" may I suggest you look up the meaning of "loss leader". Let me know if you can't find the definitions and I'll let you know the meaning.
3: Is it time for Little Prince's nappy change and then beddy bye? "There, there, brave little soldier, hush now and rest, tomorrow will be a new day and those evil doers at NYCBikes will haunt you no more.
4: Keep crying about it Eva while I'm out riding. You Troll.
1. you're right, a shop can price something at any price they want, and both NYCBikes and Performance can do as they see fit. i can also point out that NYCBikes sell a roll for DOUBLE what many other places do and let people make informed choices about where to shop. don't get so grumpy when someone points out the flaws of your fave shop (or employer as the case may be). in addition, while i think the mark up is ridiculous, the attitude of the employees (you?) is what led to my decision not to support this shop.
2. if ya want talk discuss loss leaders, perhaps you should tell NYCBikes to look into the concept to help them drum up a bit of positive regard. regardless, you brought up "market price" and i simply pointed out that $6 is in fact not the market price for one roll of velox rim tape. don't get so grumpy when you're proven wrong.
3. cute
4. cry? you're the one getting all fussy. troll? shill.
