Handi Price Increase?
« on: January 16, 2013, 05:32:57 PM »
Looks like CheaperTD raised their prices about 20%.  Hinterland not so much.  Was this coming or is this sparked by demand?  Greedy suckers.  Glad I bought mine in December.
Thanks, Jer

I just don't understand the greediness of today's business owners.  They are making plenty.  Knowing people will pay it and raising the price is price gouging.  I run sales in a technology store.  Demand does not dictate our prices but we do have markup. I could not live with myself if I gouged customers.  That is what has happened to our country. Greed.  Enough is never enough!
Thanks, Jer

Goodonya for your ethics there!
A long time ago I was taught that to make a little on each sale over time to REPEAT customers made far more money to a store than getting big once. And also that those customers treated well told friends and generated business far more than advertising bought.
