Hello again Richard, and all

    I'm not wanting to get in a last word here, but this is a matter of
    intense curiosity to me. 

    As I mentioned, Richard Hart's point about the esthetic difficulties
    of price tags in a jewelry display made perfect sense to me. I can
    see where they'd be distracting or untidy looking. 

    However, there is a fairly common practice which utterly baffles us
    here (my wife and I). We have seen many jewelry displays with price
    tags attached to each item - but every tag carefully turned face down
    or coyly tucked half-under the piece so as to be unreadable.
    Esthetics, in those cases, is obviously not a major consideration.
    That sort of thing inevitably raises the question in my mind, and
    many others' - What is the agenda? What psychological game is being
    played? I hasten to add that this is not an accusation against
    anyone, despite how my previous posts have been misunderstood, but I
    am really, really curious as to what is intended, consciously or
    otherwise. What is the origin of that conventional practice? 

Thanks,
Marty
