There is no difference between 28.99 and 28.98, it doesn't even change the amount of sale tax paid.

Well, again, not to be Captain Obvious or anything, but if somebody were to do calculations based on SRP for their entire collection, then the pennies actually would matter.  I believe there's an entire class of people who worry about this.  They're called "accountants."

I think what you meant to say is, there's no difference to you.  Others may be more anal on the subject.

I know mdnit.  If 1penny, two, pretty soon we are talking about real money. But on my collection a 1 cent difference on every title would result in about a $24 difference in the reported SRP, with a total reported SRP of over $60,000; $24 is insignificant.

$24 is insignificant???? That's at least one special edition!

I'm sure Skip has sent them hundreds of PM's by now protesting the grave injustice that is happening.

You are correct. I am an accountant.

Totally agree. There's always someone who wants a field to be completely accurate. It matters to them.

Interestingly enough, in Australia we stopped using one and two cent coins some years ago. The smallest denomination that we have these days is a five cent coin. Prices are either rounded up or down to the nearest five cents. It doesn't stop retailers pricing things at $19.98 anyway. Oddly enough though, $19.98 is $20.00 for all intents and purposes.

Just my two cents worth again

That is interest...

Wait a mintute.  How can you give us your 'two cents worth' when two cents doesn't exist in Australia?  Thought you could pull one over on us didn't you?

Everyone else is accepting there is a lack of clarity in the rule- the discussion makes that obvious - only you are demanding that your interpretation is FACT. 

Don't generalize that "everyone else is accepting that there is a lack of clarity in the rule," because that simply isn't true.  What is unclear about Do not make contributions with changes of a few cents/pence to the SRP?  Sounds crystal clear to me.
