It's to make them look less expensive.
But then, the people buying it thought it costs 19$ when it costs 20$, so they don't have enough money... And then they leave the store with hatred, and they never come back. Isn't that stupid?

Unless it is online, and you bought it in America.
I do remember having to pay 500dkr in taxes for something Zophia bought. That was nice on my economy.

it's psychological price, it's like when you go to Mc'Donald, did you notice the colors? they all in red, yellow, brown, those colors are 'quick color' which make you want to order fast, eat fast and get out quickly.

It also artistic,

$20 Gemcraft figurine, buy one get one!

compare to this

$19.95 Gemcraft figurine, buy one get one, and you can buy candy too!

It's artistic right?

I thought that was censor- Oh, I get it. Nice trick. :P

Everyone's already said it, but it's just a psychological thing.

Naturally, 12 easy payments of $19.95 sounds better than $20. I'm sure the word "easy" has something to do with it.

Coincidentally, I'm selling boxes of my new Manta-o brand cereal for $0.99, and if you pay just $14.99 more, you can get cereal with it!

Because it's a way of saying that the product is $20,while at the same time making it look affordable.
