For electronics, I used the price listed on Amazon. This can vary from the MSRP. So, it looks like the $1500 is better than buying most electronics at Amazon prices.

What kind of deals exactly have people been getting with the concierge?

Concierge is basically 180,000 for approx. $3000 item, so it works out to $0.17 also.

Has anyone ever tried writing an email like this:

"So I worked out the math for your concierge items and it is basically 180,000 FPPs for a $3000 item, which comes out to about 1.7 cents per FPP. With most items in your store, I assume that you get a bulk discount, which is why you are able to offer those items at a greater bargain price than the straight cash you offer. However, you obviously won't be getting a bulk discount when you go purchase my one item, so could you just pay me in cash? Thanks"

You'd have better luck with boiling oat pots. Seriously though, they've made it very clear that this is a no go. They'll buy you a car, but no car payments. they'll probably buy you a house, but no rent payments, etc, etc.

Anyway we could sticky this since at least a thread a day comes up about this very subject?
