Catty, Bait (as in bait for the trap)... ridiculously low price on desirable or rare product. Switch... Oh! We just sold the last one, but I can offer you this cheap, off brand piece of junk for the same price. Or, we are temporarily out of stock, but I can offer you... Or, we just sold that mint condition, low mileage used car that was only driven once a week, to church on Sundays, but we've got an old VW Microbus that you will really like!
