I'd do it, $100 a tree and I'll even block the truck after its limbed. :D

Sometimes private retailers jack the price way up on purpose. Some yuppies think they are getting something better if they pay more.

I actually emailed a retailer about a ridiculously high price on something asking if it was a typo. I don't remember what the item was, but he told me that when an item goes out of stock, he jacks the price up until he gets it back in, so that no one will try to buy it. I don't remember the exact details, but it was just to serve as a placeholder, so he didn't have to take the ad down, then put it back up.

I know of a business who does exactly what I said. And they make a lot of money doing it too.
Are Yuppies allowed to own chainsaws and related accessories? I would think they would lose their Yuppie card if the boys at the club found out they were engaging in manual labor.


Although, if they are, you just gave me an idea. I think I'll buy some cheapo Homelite saws, slap some BMW stickers on them and sell them for $1000 each.

Well 'We' are certainly allowed to own battery-powered saws and expensive shelf queens!
