The appeal of auction sites like ebay is they give the buyer the illusion they are getting a bargain. They may, or they may not, but they don't want to be told what its value is in the way a shop would decide.
Some not really interesting news, but I'm excited.
Just won an Olympus Trip 35 on ebay for £16, looks in very good nick but who knows until it's in my hot little hands....will it ever end?
Tesco just doubled their price for film to CD, just who do they think they are with such mediocre quality.
Human nature to want it for less, a guy listed a Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8 on here a couple of weeks ago for £500 which was a steal but somebody still offered £475 and lost it :shrug: to me
( water gas electricity is only relevant upto a point, they are necessary only upto so much - and for that reason such prices are either controlled or Govt offers subsidy to certain section of the population). But comparing that to film development cost is not right, is it?
Not wishing to turn this into an economic debate Brian, if my salaries rise lower than inflation, or if prices of some stuff rises above inflation, I simply will not be able to afford many things in life. Indeed, I still cant afford many things in life - but thats hardly the argument for forcing an inflation based pricing on commodities that I want.
As to people getting poorer relative to previous years, its an inevitable consequence of the last 10 years profilgacy. Its merely the market correcting itself; and quicker it corrects, the better.
Thats the beauty of free market - prices are always decided by the market in the end. But every supplier is responsible to set his own price irrespective of any inflationary factors, and live with the consequence. Thats not a rip off.
You only got it cos you saw it before me............:bang:
