Back when I was just getting out of hight school, a few friends and I decided to get ourselves a bunch of new shiny computers (for gaming, of course 
). At that time, the Amige was some pretty new and hot machine, so we did a pool order to get 12 Amiga 500's for (at that time) 1000 DM apiece.
Well, after we had gone to that shop, and signed the order, the person in charge announced that there would be only one set of manuals with the machines (Well, technically, the order read '12 x Amiga 500, plus documentation and manuals', so one could argue the docs weren't included in the term '12x'... just strange that when talking before, big salesman stated 'complete packages'... well, it was the last time I didn't triple-check the writing of an order... but I digress)
When I commented that 'this is not what we agreen upon', said salesperson laughed, claimed we wouldn't need a manual for that 'stupid cheap shit' anyway, etcetera, yadda yadda... and we should 'stop wasting his time with cheap playthings; there are customers who actually want to buy something worthwhile
So, when our order finally hit the store, the three of us who went fetching the machines paid up cash... with a plastic bag, stuffed with 1200 crumpled 10 DM notes.
Sucky? Prpbably. But it felt just right back then.
