Value "subtracted" as a tongue-in-cheek opposite of value added. People are willing to pay a premium to not interact with a dealership. I follow what you meant now<G> personally don't understand how someone can buy a $20K, $30K (or in HJ's case, $150K?) asset like a car and not shop the hell out of it. Or finance a house without niggling to the end over the cost. I admit to not spending a lot of time shopping and haggling for products. If I believe I am getting a fair price, that is good enough for me. My situation is different that that of many. I can lopok up what the car costs the dealer, the incentive and the holdback. I am willing to permit the dealer to make a couple thousand on me. The other side of the coin is I except the deal to come to my store to buy for his wife for the holidays, anniverarys, etc. and ant haggle about price. Buying a house is different. I have only purchased two in my life and some land. I am buying from an individual that more often than not is leaving town. My point is in retail buying I live in a relatively small market and it is important that I stay on good terms with the retailer from whom I am buying. It is not just that retailer that counts but his/her frineds, etc.
