Am I Clueless?

Rob Cockerham is an EXTREMELY clever guy. His website, Cockeyed.com is one of my favorite sites out there. Poke around a bit, and you'll realize why he's so clever. Twice now, he's posted little stories about "deals" he's gotten at stores by conspiring with other customers to mess around with 2 for 1 (and similar) deals. The stories read as if there's a point at the end that he's intentionally leaving out, so that you'll smack yourself in the head when you realize how clever he is. Rob's not the kind of guy who would get overly excited about paying a dollar for something that's basically worth a dollar, so I'm wondering what the really clever implied "Twilight Zone" twist is, that I'm not getting! Help!

Um, I don't get it. In the end, he's still getting the merchandise at the same unit price as the sale price. They say 6 for $2.88, he's taking 3 for $1.44. Am I missing something?

Kind of like javadocs.org. I don't get that, either, but lots of technophiles are like "D'oh! Why didn't I think of that before?"
