Skip I just clarified the situation as you completely misrepresented the contribution. Your usual style of not letting the facts get in the way of dragging a contribution through the forum to get your own way. | | | Andy

| Posted: | | | | Quote: There is no difference between 28.99 and 28.98, it doesn't even change the amount of sale tax paid. Well, again, not to be Captain Obvious or anything, but if somebody were to do calculations based on SRP for their entire collection, then the pennies actually would matter. I believe there's an entire class of people who worry about this. They're called "accountants." I think what you meant to say is, there's no difference to you. Others may be more anal on the subject. |

| Posted: | | | | I know mdnit. If 1penny, two, pretty soon we are talking about real money. But on my collection a 1 cent difference on every title would result in about a $24 difference in the reported SRP, with a total reported SRP of over $60,000; $24 is insignificant.

| Posted: | | | | I should probably add that it doesn't matter to me either. Just pointing out that these are personal opinions of ours, not some immutable law. |

Skip $24 is insignificant???? That's at least one special edition! | | | Dan |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Telecine: Quote: Interestingly enough, in Australia we stopped using one and two cent coins some years ago. The smallest denomination that we have these days is a five cent coin. Prices are either rounded up or down to the nearest five cents. It doesn't stop retailers pricing things at $19.98 anyway. Oddly enough though, $19.98 is $20.00 for all intents and purposes.
Just my two cents worth again That is interest... Wait a mintute. How can you give us your 'two cents worth' when two cents doesn't exist in Australia? Thought you could pull one over on us didn't you? | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Quote: thought that an SRP change within a wider contribution, as discussed during the rule session that I participated in, was clear in the rule. After this many pages though, it seems to be unclear. Well, you thought wrong. The rule is quite clear on this issue. "Do not make contributions with changes of a few cents/pence to the SRP." This is crystal clear.
The only thing that may allow any wiggle room at all is "Use the SRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) at the time of the DVD’s original release..." and that is only limited because the DVD in question hasn't been released yet.
Quote: That's the way I've always understood the SRP rule to be...just like the 'genre-only' rule. Except that the 'genre-only' rule is qualified while the SRP rule is not (e.g., "contributions that only change...").
Quote: As has been said many times, if it wasn't unclear, we wouldn't be talking about it... It's only unclear because you are going out on a long limb looking for some justification to challenge it. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole) Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges.

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Lopek: Quote: Everyone else is accepting there is a lack of clarity in the rule- the discussion makes that obvious - only you are demanding that your interpretation is FACT. Don't generalize that "everyone else is accepting that there is a lack of clarity in the rule," because that simply isn't true. What is unclear about Do not make contributions with changes of a few cents/pence to the SRP? Sounds crystal clear to me. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole) Badges? We ain't got no badges.
