Be careful how much freedom you give your property management company. If they are the type that listens to whatever the tenant says, the next thing you know, you have a new hot water tank, dishwasher, furnace, etc, and it's all coming out of the rent cheques you were expecting to receive. For a few months we received no cash at all towards the mortgage.

If I'm Undercharged... Do I Need To Go Back To The Store And Tell?

Go back to the store, buy another set of identical boots. See if it rings up at $150 or $6.83. If $6.83, then it must be on sale; buy all of them and resell on craigslist. If $150, then return the first set of boots for a refund.

Alternatively, consider that the person who made those boots for you didn't get even get paid $6.83 to do so; and the cow who provided the raw material didn't have any choice in the matter; no sense in worrying about all of the other people's profit.
