My unsolicited thoughts about commission prices is (re: people wanting discounts)- if it is important to you, you will find a way to save up for it. :D As long as you have income, any income at all, you can be saving money to spoil yourself later. Even if it's only a tiny fraction of your paycheck/commission earnings/allowance/etc, saving money is always a worthwhile endeavor and a good habit to get into. Even if you don't end up buying yourself any "treats" with it, its good to have a nest egg.

that’s how i feel, really! if I honestly want something, I won’t bitch about how I can’t get it - I’ll save up money or work extra hard or whatever to get it! and I think a lot of people forget this

I mean if they can come up with money to get a 35 dollar commission, i’m sure they can for a 50 dollar commission, but if they don’t want to that’s their choice etc
