We all know the $7.99 price tag on an item that is 8 bucks. To make the mind think that its just over 7 bucks instead of 8 which it truly is closest to. All this is used in all selling in restaurants, retail items, and even gas with its 9 tenths of a penny.
There have also been quite common the $0.79 thing as well. Plus I have seen a food item once $x.39 in a local eatery near my house, which makes absolutely no sense at all as making it $x.40 is just as effective giving how close the lower dollar amount is to just 40 cents.
Are there any other price amounts besides the ones ending in 95, 97,79, and the most popular 99 that you have ever seen?
Not that I shop there often, but I think I've WalMart ads that have prices ending in .88
I have found x.49 to be quite common with price amounts under $10. (Especially $2.49)
Home Depot rarely prices in 0, 5, or 9. 7 and 2 are common there.

$0.49, $0.88 resonate the most with where I shop the most. I would think the '9's would be the most common. $9.29 for example.
Is anyone interested in hearing how we make these decisions at video game/movies/cards/collectibles/toy store I own?
It will be long.
