Reply #18: Nothing. You're not stealing. You just haggled.

It's no different than booking an airline ticket. If you call them directly, you can haggle for a ticket that is often way cheaper than their cheapest ticket available online.

If you're concerned about your "lying," keep this in mind...they're lying to you first when they charge you the highest rate. They're claiming this is their rate, dude. Unless, of course, you ask them for a different rate based upon what their competitors are charging. So shift the whole paradigm...is YOUR lying in order to save $85 bucks somehow worse than their lying to save several million dollars?

In a perfect world, you'd both tell the truth and charge/pay the absolute minimum required to in order to provide you with the service. But this is far from a perfect world. This is Capitalism.
