The idea is that when a customer has a vendor come in, the pricing isn't
fixed, it's negotiated - and often the customer will use the promise of
future purchases to drive the initial investment down. Sometimes they
use phrases like "this is my budget and all I can pay for" - they want
everything, but aren't willing to spend what the list price is.
That doesn't happen if you go to the movies or out to dinner. You don't
go to a fancy restaurant and negotiate the price with the server - you
pay what's on the menu. You don't offer to come back in two weeks and
buy more in exchange for a discount on your current meal ticket.
