Cables sell for $400. Salesperson makes $100 in comission on those.

So if he discounts the TV by $300, his comission on the TV drops to $30. So he can sell you the cables and TV and make $130, or the TV by itself and make $80. The store also makes about the same amount of money from you. That is; until you return the cables. The fact of the matter is; most people don't.
BINGO WE GOT A WINNER.

This guy knows what he's talking about.
