[QUOTE="perfor8, post: 3459203, member: 10088"] You can't have it both ways. Either you'll sell it, or your price is higher than the market will bear. You're the ultimate neckbeard. Let's take the example of gas-cans. Suppose I find myself with a pallet of 50 of 'em in the few days before a hurricane - always high gas can demand season. Suppose I don't raise my price. Suppose the first 5 fellers that walk in buy 10 each in a panic (panic being the standard operating environment of those lacking the foresight to anticipate the need for gas cans). What they actually need is 2 each - enough to run a generator for a week or get their family out of town in the 2004 Taurus even if gas stations are closed. Now I'm out of gas cans (and you and many others can't find one) and there are 5 fellas out there who have more then they need. Now suppose I raise my gas can price from the normal $20 to a more hurricane-reasonable $50. Those first 5 fellas to walk in might only buy 4. Or 3. Or maybe just the 2 they need. So now you and your non plan-ahead buddies can find the gas can you nee. The words you should be saying are "thank you", not name-calling and hating the very fella providing you with an option. FYI, RickN, I ain't trying to be smart-alec to you personally, I'm trying to shed some light in this, evidently, dark cave of a subject - money/markets. [/QUOTE]
