Grinder price

<big>Grinder Price</big>
The phrase 'Grinder Price' was coined around 8 years ago on an internet forum. Since then it has become something of an institution. The Grinder is usually an active forum lurker and user, renowned for his ability to obtain an item or service at a huge discount. This ability is mostly attributed to the level of charisma used when obtaining said goods and services, rather than direct haggling ability. This usually leaves the vendor completely satisfied in a situation that would usually result in the customer receiving derision after submitting the offer.
<big>Definition</big>
Grinder invented the , there is an expensive price, good price, fair price, cheap price, bargain price and then there is Grinder price.
Grinder price is always the best price you can get as it is usually either free with NSA or costs less than the fuel you use to get it.
In essence a Grinder price is a low price paid for an item in which the cost of the item is less than the cost of postage/fuel to ship the item back home. A grinder price item is usually an item that is deemed hard to come by or uncommon, which increases the legendarily status of the 'grinder price' when bought at the very low price.
* Example 1: A mint condition rear spoiler is for sale for £20, the cost of the trip to get the item is £25, this spoiler is therefore at 'grinder price'
* Example 2: A genuine ARC TMIC appears on *insert selling place here* this item isn't spotted by anyone and so sells for 99p, not only would this item be at Grinder price, but would usually instill a sense of disbelief in any associated or observing parties.
* Example 3: Grinder himself designs/invents something that uses other Grinder price objects to create another object/invention that is better than the 2 objects that they started out as, ie synergy.
* Example 4: Refusing to purchase an object or service that can be obtianed cheaper elsewhere, even if this causes immeadiate issues or hardship.
* Example 5: Refusal to take part in an event or activity that would induce additional costs onto a traditionally cheap or free enterprise.

In conclusion, Grinder price is the best price you can get for an item (which can sometimes include the price of 'free') but is always better than if it was at a bargain price.
