Price Protectr! →
sabine:
Here’s a fun site. How many times have you bought something last week, only to hear that you’re friend bought the same thing from the same store this week for $50 less. It sucks.
Stores know it sucks, so they offer a “Price protection guarantee”, meaning if the price drops on what you just bought, you can get the difference back. What the stores depend on is the consumer not being...

Hurricanes And OPEC To Bands: Don't Tour →
bg5000:
This should be mandatory reading for anyone making the argument that bands can just make up for lost album sales by hitting the road. Actually, it should be read by anybody interested in what it’s like for bands out there today. Lucas did a really good job on it.
