Answered: 960.00?

Why are all the Maul gifts exactly 960.00? What is the significance? Why are they all the same price?

96 is the opposite of 69, and the person who set the prices was thinking about the porn they just enjoyed. 69.00 each was too cheap, so the person responsible added a zero, and wham! 690.00

Or something like that.

I've got a better question.


Why is the poster with the most pwnies and the closest to getting a post count that reads "alot" bitching about the price of something?

Well, when considering the pre-tax price, 960.00, I agree, it is somewhat curious. However after the tax is added and the final price is reached, 986.40, I think it's pretty obvious.
