Makes it sound like a bargain. And consumers buy that kind of gimmick all the time LOL It sounds so attractive packaging it at 3 for P100, right? Makes it sound like a bargain.

I do believe in free markets, so I suppose they'll charge as much as (they think) the market will bear.

Ang sure na sure ako na meron ay sa palengke ng Taytay. Mikee, I think the hawkers overpricing is true in any Third World country. In rich countries, overpricing is the domain of big businesses. LOL iskolar111, LOL eh according to the current Consti, three straight terms, rest for a term, run again and serve three straight terms again, rest again, ad infinitum. In effect pwede ngang congressman for life. Carol, idol ka talaga hehehehe Makapunta nga ng palengke at meron yan sigurado. Ang sure na sure ako na meron ay sa palengke ng Taytay.

Growing up with 4 other kids in the family, money was tight. During summer I peddled newspapers and magazines in the capitol building of zambales. One of my customers then was Rep. Antonio Diaz(of the Viva Hot Babe scandal) who gave me a 25 cent tip. In 1969 that was a big tip back then. It's now 2008 and he's still there. Is he congressman for life?

Other countries from southeast is much worst. For example, this vendor from a Chinese community offered me a bag for 250 Ringgits in Malaysia, I really liked it but I certainly don't have that much money so he keeps on lowering the price, some minutes after when I was about to go, he's shouting 10 Ringgits. Consider that Ringgits is x/15 PhP. lol It’s not just in this country. Other countries from southeast is much worst.
