Thanks for the conversation starters Kevin. I've started
an affiliate program with a ridiculously low payout to
promote your suggestion that we get off that topic. :-)

Sorry to be philosophical, but I wonder if fairness is
a helpful concept in the marketplace.

Honesty and integrity are certainly relevant.

But as soon as we introduce the concept of fairness in
to pricing then we get lost in these heated moralism
debates that don't accomplish much of anything, imho.

Does it matter what price any of us consider fair, or
even what price someone else is buying or selling at?

Doesn't it just boil down to getting the best deal you
can negotiate for your business, whether as buyer or
seller, in whatever environment you find yourself in?

Sincerely,
Phil
