My father has spent the past six months trying to find his perfect plasma screen TV before finally asking me if I could get it at a discount using my office credit card. No sooner did I order the exact model he required, at a discount, then he told me he had found one cheaper at an electronics superstore nearby. I had to cancel the order that had already been sent. I'm a bargain hunter too but I'm also impulsive so if I spot an iron, on sale, and I realise at that moment that I could use a new iron, than I buy it. This is not such a great character trait as my current iron has a cord that is way too short to iron my superkingsize sheets but was extremely cheap. I think you're going to have to get used to the fact that Consumer gets pleasure from finding the perfect home appliance. Why not give him a whole list of stuff to find on your behalf... not forgetting to include the perfect vibrator. I'd be interested to see what he comes up with.
