Is "value" a dirty word, Jeff?
Hell no. I demand it and give it.
What about asking questions to make sure the price is commensurate with the cost? What's wrong with that?
Explain this to me using the example of Bloodcreek's free bow he wants to now sell.
The "cost" is NONEYA! Why do you even feel the need to know this? I think .....if I pay fair market value for a product (which is somewhere near what the market will bear)......I am fine with that. I don't lose sleep wondering if the guy I bought my 82nd from is buying a round for the boys at the local watering hole.....or if he took his wife to Tahiti instead of Myrtle Beach. I got an 82nd for a price I can live with.....and I NEVER think another thing about that.
Do you really leave the car lot after a purchase and wonder if the dealer got extra incentive $$ back from the distributor.....say if your car was the one that put him over his quota for the month? Ya know.....the exact same model that left the showroom floor 30 minutes before you may not have had as much as THOUSANDS of dollars in incentives attached to it. But yours did
. Do you think about stuff like this?????
I don't.
Query: If you're in the building business, would it be kosher for you to call all the other builders in the area and say "Hey, whaddya say we all bump the prices of our buildings up by 50%? That way, we'll have the market cornered. Nobody is allowed to charge less than $X, and we'll have our vendors jack up the prices on anyone who tries to undercut us."
You're into the law thing. This is called collusion....and I enjoy my freedom.
So what's fair? You tell me.
Is it "as much as possible."
Hell yes! It's called "Capitalism", Fran!
Nobody mind Jeff - he's angling hard for the next "corporate staff" gig.
I don't give a crap about a corporate staff gig. See....there's things in there that add to that "cost" I don't wanna have to deal with, either.
........like having to be nice when someone asks a stupid question.
