Sometimes they just look at you like you've grown a second head...but every so often, you catch one who'll play ball. Don't try it with kids under 30 though. They haven't a clue what you're talking about. :too-funny: I quite agree...he has EVERY right in the world to make a profit. I'm a ruthless capitalist, and wouldn't want it to be any other way. That doesn't absolve the seller, however, from the responsibility of [B]earning[/B] that profit. His right to make a profit doesn't mean I'm obligated to give him as much of it as he wants simply for the asking. :) The responsibility to purchase his materials or supplies at a favorable price, or market them in an appealing way, or provide quality merchandise, or to manage the costs of bringing it to market...all these are up to him, not me. :) I have a right to place a value on an item, and either purchase it at that price or do without. :too-funny:[/QUOTE]
