[Milsurplus] mac's dilema

Tue, 29 Jul 2003 10:13:32 -0700 (PDT)

The problem is understanding supply and demand.  If
there is a bulk manufactured product then the
manu/retailer set an industry fair price that they
want for their product (trying to sell as many as
possible).  BUT, if it is a limited supply or single
supply item then the market rules - who ever is
willing to pay the highest price wins (ie. ebay, stock
market, ETC).

The bottom line is something is only worth what
someone is willing to pay for it.  If someone pays
more than they get it.  It's called economics.

This advice is worth what you are willing to pay for
it.
