Some may suggest that some companies quote the 'without' vat price in order to appear more competitive and get business as per my previous post. It happens quite a lot. Not due to them getting more money, just that on the face of it the company appears to be cheaper, hence they may get the business.Some may suggest it is 'sharp practice'..!!

Whilst your post may be factual, it doesn't address the practice and inconsistencies of VAT charging. To many customers it is simple, although to a lot of people it can lead to confusion and misunderstandings as per the OP.
A lot of people are simply used to shopping just like they do at the supermarket where the price is all in, although as you say, pop it down to experience and it is good to check
