Moore's side effect
#1
Today my boss asked me to put a fair price on a server we are selling. It's a dell 2850 he paid for, and purchased for around 7,500 dollars four years ago, so I told him 500 bucks according to ebay. His jaw dropped. He could not believe how much less it was worth. But I guess it's just moore's side effect.

Yeah, most stores. Not the Army and Air Force Exchange Service...

They rip us off horrible over here. Things are so expensive. We get out of paying tax, but, we pay $1.50 for a 20oz bottle of coke.
