Discount, my ass. If every store in town is selling it for that price, that's the retail price. I'm sorry, should I say street price? MSRP? If that's so, why does every retailer give you the list price and the sale price? List is not a real number, it's an inflated figure that exists to make you think you're getting a deal. Same thing they do at car dealerships. If anyone can walk in off the street and get the "discounted" price, that's not a discount, that's what you sell it for.
