But in fact, you CAN use the product before you buy it. You can go to an apple store and try out the machines. Hell, you can even buy one there. Just because the person bought the computer on the website, doesn't mean he had to.

A real estate agent, and more specifically realtors are expected to know fair price on lots and houses, and will generally get a better deal than someone working without an agent.

Corporations not only pay taxes on their profits... but all investors also pay taxes on the profits. In otherwords, corperations have double taxation, with the exception of special corporations (an llc for example) whome only have single taxation (these special corporations make up a very small % of all corporations btw).
