Was trying to place an order to a perfumer website. It offered the item for $70.++ (am uncertain of the cents, while the $70 part is correct; this was a coupon discount that the product vendor was offering a half hour ago.) When I tried to place the order, the CNET app put up an overlay on the vendor's webpage, and eventually produced a result of ~ $87.19 (again, cents uncertain) based on a vendor's retail price of ~$109.00. I tried to return to the vendor's page that had the $70.++ and after CNET repeated its overlay, it then produced a resulting discounted $76.29 (approx). So, I am about equally displeased with an apparent bait and switch from the vendor and with CNET's apparent adding about ~$11 to the lowest price. However, it's better than the others, so. I will lie and let live.
