Yes, using .99 is a cheap a common trick to fool people into thinking that something is cheaper than it is. Very few merchants use honest prices. It would do you honour if you did.

It's .99. Not one euro. And for the services that we will offer is really a honest price we believe.
All I'm saying is: You would look more honest if you charged €1 instead of €0.99 (which is practically the same amount, except .99 is chosen to trick people into thinking that it's cheaper).
We will charge exactly .99. Not a cent more than that :)
