No. Not discounting works for Apple because it's the only store selling MacBooks. You can buy pants and underwear at dozens of places that are not JCPenny. The usual practice is deceptive to be sure, but JCPenny gave up their most effective means of advertising bargains short of relentlessly juxtaposing competitors' prices against their own.
