lrh, Certainly there are folks who are financially distressed.
But how in the world is that going to affect sales of the grill? Obviously, if someone doesn't have the purchase price then they can't buy the item. That's a given.
You do understand that the grill sells for about $100, right? We're not talking about a big purchase here. The grill is quite affordable and a one-time purchase only. You buy it once and use it for years.
But you're trying to make it sound like the grill is a victum of somekind of nation-wide systemic problem, as in an economic meltdown. Basicly, you're pushing somekind of mini-doomsday scenario.
I think you're going to have to do a lot better than "mortgage rates" and "gasoline". But nice try anyway.
Hey, it's been a real ball conversing with you on this topic. But it is basicly a total absurdity and I just don't have any more time for this, even if it is highly entertaining.
Good Luck.
