WalMart sells a lot of stuff for 14.88. The pennies in the price are some kind of code, and they're not skipping 88. They do the ".99" thing for the psychology, but then they also use other numbers close to 100.
The 14 is just a coincidence that that's what they want to charge for a DVD.

You're probably right about the code--I recently learned Home Depot uses the cents for a similar code.
Not just that, some percentage sales prices sometimes break down to $14.88 too.
I know some Steam games got in trouble for something being like 17% or 36% or whatever off, and coming out to $14.88
