Addendum Modification and Undercut

When you walk onto the sales floor in any furniture store, you are greeted by a smiling, courteous, friendly sales associate. Their job is to steer you in the direction of the product that suits your needs. These needs could be budgetary, they could be functionality, they could be style, or they could be a combination of all three. The one thing that they dread doing is offering you a price that is lower than you planned to spend, as this will undercut their commission. In gearing, undercutting is also a condition that everyone wishes to avoid.
