Yeah, I know, but that's merely using the fine print as an excuse. Surely 
if we're going to include functionality to display a price we should try 
to make sure it's correct; if that's not possible, we should remove that 
functionality. Can't you hassle the dotTV people to fix it?

Customers already have enough of a surprise being told that their domain 
has a surcharge. And if I went to some place that was advertising, say, 
$50 domains, then I was told that it was actually going to cost $460, 
then the next screen told me no, it was really $1000, there's no way I'd 
buy anything from them.

Well, these are just examples, of course; I chose ones I don't want so 
that nobody else would take them. I mean, at $125, testicles.tv would be 
a bargain, but $390? I don't think so...
