Can you go out and get that item(s) for free? no so the item(s) have a value that is associated with it/them.

People get stuff for SEMA for free all the time, we got maybe 40k in product last year for a rig we took down there. when the rig sold it was tallied into the cost when they came up with the sale pricing.

So by this guy's logic it would make sense to strap a couple of jet turbines to my house and and convert the basement to a swimming pool that you can jump into from the laundry chute on the top floor. That will REALLY get the real estate market in a buzz!

what the seller paid for an item has no correlation with what he can in turn sell it for. it may dictate what he HAS to get out of it, but it doesnt have any connection to what he CAN get for it. if i buy a gun for $50 and its worth $400 i'm not going to sell it for $200 just because i got it on the cheap, thats a terrible business decision.

just because a company gets something from a vendor for free doesnt mean they have to give you a discount on it if you were to buy it.

if the value is 50k and thats what they sell for then thats what they should get for it, at the very least they would be stupid to ask for anything less than that to start.

Supply and demand is an economic model based on price, utility and quantity in a market. It concludes that in a competitive market, price will function to equalize the quantity demanded by consumers, and the quantity supplied by producers, resulting in an economic equilibrium of price and quantity.

They are mostly used for snow as they give high flotation, they are also very useful in sand for the same reason. Not meant for high speeds, I think max recommended on them is about 35-40mph but they do work very well. I have driven a couple vehicles with them in both snow and wooded terrain, never slipped a track (and I tried) but they do ride a bit rough on harder ground.

in that respect, you shouldn't be buying ANYTHING if you know how much someone (a company) paid for something and then how much you're buying it from them for :hsugh:

An argument is no place for logic :slap:
