If it means being nice, they'll be nice. If it means shafting you, they'll shaft you. Either way they don't actually care, so long as it maximizes profit. And we're all fine with it because in that particular case, we'd rather be lied to than told the truth.

Oh ya, I know. I pretty much don't believe any ad copy on it's face. I don't really disbelieve it either. You just have to do as much research as the price of the object warrants and hope for the best. However the ad copy rarely outright lies, instead it takes whatever favorable info they can find -blows that out of proportion and then ignores the negative. I guess that's technically a lie of ommission.
