Unfortunately, Jeff’s wife, Marla, has other plans for their meager joint savings. Jeff has tried in the past, without much luck, to persuade Marla they should buy this TV. Marla has actually thought carefully about the purchase herself and has researched the issues; each time she has argued that prices will eventually come down and the technology is still too new. She believes they should wait to buy the TV. However, today Jeff has struck pay dirt.The latest issue of Consumer Reports magazine has just arrived, and it has an article rating various HDTVs. The article points out the pros and cons of HDTVs but finally argues that now is a good time to buy one and gives the HDTV that Jeff wants to buy a very favorable ranking. Marla is a big believer in Consumer Reports, so Jeff asks Marla to read the article and discuss the TV yet one more time. Marla remains reluctant.Jeff, getting a bit irritated, tries to “sweeten the pot” by reminding Marla that having the TV will make it more likely that Jeff will spend more time at home with her, because his friends will probably now want to come to their house and watch the big games on the new TV. At this point, Marla storms out of the room muttering something about Jeff’s crude football buddies and the last thing she wants to do is spend her time waiting on them.HideLearning Objectives:1.
