nope, we worked for a set salary, that way it didn't have the effect you mentioned. It also meant that we could give honest advice and sell what teh customer actually wanted not what made us the most money.
We would sometimes use the 'bargain addons' style. we found that especially in stuff like video camera accessories, tripods/bags/filters etc would often be offered to us at silly prices if you took volume so we used to get all the deals then make up packs of accessories that we could throw in. e.g. we were offered quite decent tripods at £5 each if we took 500. they had a retail price of £49.95 in any dealer so add to that a camera bag (cost £2 if we took 400) at £34.95 and a few tapes and a sound mixer for adding music(£1.50 in 500's) at £29.95 you could give a 'pack worth over £100!!! (which actually cost us under a tenner). Customers are quite astute in wanting a bargain but quite often they don't care what that bargain was, the fact they would probably never use teh tripod or mixer meant nowt, they felt they had got one over us
