The sad part is if they had used a 7.5HP motor to begin with and priced it accordingly it would have been an actual good deal, instead of a fake good deal.

 Be happy you weren't cursed to spend your career in Marketing.

I actually took a class in marketing in college.  I concluded marketing was just a bunch of made up buzzwords and cockamamie "theories" to sell advertising.  Yeah, I also took a class on advertising.  It had some real buzz words and theories to sell advertising.  Very little was about the effectiveness of advertising.
When business is good you need to advertise.
When business is bad you need to advertise.
When you discover advertising and marketing firms just want your money and if they bleed you to bankruptcy they just laugh you need to advertise.
When you discover that the advertising firms wrote the text books you should take out a huge debilitating loan to attend more classes.
You should tell customers who need low turn rate or low margin items to fuck off and buy it somewhere else.  Oh, wait.  That was basic survey of business where they introduced that concept.  Its no wonder brick and mortar stores selling substantial products have been dropping like flies for the last 30-40 years.  In the same classes they will tell you small businesses can compete by providing better service... Wait?  What?
I need some Dot 3 brake fluid.
Year, make and model please.
You should buy local.
Okay I need this today.
We can get that for you.
Sorry about the rant, but "We can get it for you," is the death knell of retail.  Okay... I'm done now.
