Many years ago my father sold carpet for a large department store. They had samples of the different carpets which were approximately 18 x 24 inches. When a line of carpet was discontinued, the samples were sold for ten cents each. Dad would play a game with customers who inquired about the price. (Those who were apparently unable to read the sign.) He'd tell them they were ten cents each or two for a quarter. The majority of these people would go for the second option.
