If anything can be taken from that it would be, "A "fair price to the seller" would be the most the seller would pay for something, were he in the buyer's shoes, plus a little more." |

...or you could just use some $3.50 gaskets and get on with your life.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why you all have nothing better to do than argue about a $21 tube of gasket crap LOL |

It's the economic principle rather than the gasket. The concept of a demand curve applies to everything a dealer or anyone else sells.

Here is another related story.
I was asked for advice recently to set a price for some software in preparation of contract with a large company. They asked me, "Sergey, what do you think the price should be". I said, "Well, you don't want to charge an unreasonably high amount, even though they certainly look like they could afford it". [the following is based on my awareness of what the software was] So they asked me, "Well yes, but what would be an unreasonable amount?" I said, "Anything over $10,000 would be unreasonable" They replied, "Well yes!.. Off course anything over $10,000 would be unreasonable." See what happened here? Even though the seller had a problem determining the exact price of the product (hence asking for my advice), they knew darn well, that charging over certain amount [$10,000 in this case] would be unreasonable and unfair. |

I didn't miss the point. If the price is to high at one place, just go somewhere else. PERIOD.

While we are at definitions, this cool movie quote defines, "as greedy as a pig"
You cannot move a dead body whole. First of all you have to dice the body into six pieces and pile it up into a bag. Then you'll need to find a pig farm and starve the pigs for a couple of days. The pigs will be so hungry that the body will look like curry to them. They will go through bone like butter, that means that 40 pigs can digest 80 pounds of fat, that's 2 pounds every minute, hence the expression "as greedy as a pig" - Brick Top, Snatch |

You got to be really careful selecting the right price points in the contract negotiation process. Especially with large companies: large companies are known to be particularly greedy.
Take Merck for example, big company, huge, part of the Dow 30. You know what they came up with? Some bean counter found a way to squeeze a few extra pennies from the vendors: They've setup a special set of rules the vendors have to follow in order to submit invoices to Merck. If the rules are not followed: Merck will automatically take a discount, and good luck collecting the whole amount on your invoice. There are certainly ways to deal with Merck, and they are no doubt a great company. I am just using them as an example on how careful you have to be setting up prices, especially dealing with large corporations. |

I didn't ask "find a good deal", I asked if prices were fair.

I don't know if the prices are fair, I hear they've been going down lately.

OK - what about for those that bought 4 months ago when prices were higher? Who got the fair end of the bargin then - buyer or seller? Same house, just a different time of the year. Seems to me that there were still plenty of buyers lining up to drop their coin down on a high dollar house when prices were high.
Its all about competition. The price is almost irrelevent. It is in some ways more about how badly you need something, whether you have the income to support your need and whether or not there is choice in the market. Seems to me then using that same logic, $21 for the tube of silicone could be considered a fair price to seller and buyer. I still say buy some gaskets though if you are that perturbed about it - most gaskets are quite inexpensive as there are so many manufacturers - making it a more than fair purchase to the buyer |

21 bucks is still too much for a 4 dollar tube of gasket maker.
this statement is worth 10 more responses. |

I also again proved to myself this weekend why I like gaskets over silicone. Did a diff service on the 10 bolt and 14bolt axles in my Suburban. Getting the old RTV off took the most time. With gaskets, its no muss, no fuss and if done correctly, no leaks. |

"Fair" is a moral judgement.
You guys are trying to use economic theory to make a moral decision. Economics has nothing to do with morality. |
