You know it's funny.. I really don't have a problem with the $60 price tag.
I have a problem with them saying it was going to be 29.99 and then
announcing that because it won't fit on one tape it will be double the
price. Sounds like they wanted to double the profit to me. They could have
offered the 2-tape set for 39.99 with the extra $10.00 paying for the
addition tape.
The doubling of the price tag for nothing more than an additional tape is
the problem. I have a copy of their original outline and I didn't notice
any additional information beyond what was advertised for 29.99 included on
that second tape. So, I ask what additional value am I getting for paying
$60 for a 2-tape set?
