    Umm, guys, I know you all want to be creative about it but what's
    wrong with just saying no? People come into my shop and occasionally
    ask the question if I'll discount and I just say no. Politely and
    firmly. No discussion of why or why not. Just no. They rarely ask
    again. For those of you raising your prices just so you can discount
    it, in my book this is at best ambiguously unethical (at worst
    downright unethical). Just because the big stores do it doesn't mean
    you have to stoop to their level.
