Dave, your right as I have known people to use different codes from Insurance quotes to whatever....sometimes the prices they paid are on the sticker in (reverse) as a item number,this way they know what they have into it with out keeping a log and can tell right away when they need to deal.
I also know someone who owns a Pawn Shop, and you can bet your boots that they buy stuff so cheap that it's almost considered robbery. It's a shame sometimes that one Man's loss is another mans Big Profit, but that's how this crazy world is, some people are just out for a profit no matter what the cost.
