i'll go along with the "post it on jeep bbs, and whine about it " part.. bit i did pay what i thought was a "fair" price, and did NOT pay what i thought was an unfair price. [$21.00] this thread was started to see if those that recommended that particular silicone actually paid $21 bucks for it. and they do not. those that recommended this particular product actually pay 7-9 bucks per tube, and their local dealership provides more reasonable, and fair pricing for its walk in customers. |

Nope, not confused at all; just encapsulating all whiners in the given scenario in one fell swoop; whether you paid for it or not, not just you for starting this thread. |

Define (objectively) what constitutes a universal "fair price" for any given transaction. It cannot be done, other than to say the price upon which the buyer and seller agree -- which has already been deemed non-acceptable here. |

Sergey threw it out of the running back on the first page, IIRC. In Econ, you don't find "fair" in that definition, though. |

If I have a product and it cost me $100 to purchase.
How much (in dollars) do you think it is "fair" to sell it for? What do you base your answer on? Just curious.

thre is not a set percentage that can be made off of parts in general.
for the most part, you can be juat under msrp, and do ok. but that is not always true either. where you are going to make your "parts" money is on the parts you can get at the best rate. Quote:
there are some ways out of that, but really.... are you going to shop someplace that you feel you are being robbed? now a way that make your job, including parts more valuable is the experience of the installer. i know, often times people will pay a bit more for experience. another way to help get more for your things than your competition is service . if you provide the best service to your customer, and that includes some beverages, kind words, some pretty ladies to look at while waiting, a nice magazine collection, etc.. just make the customer feel like they are getting more from you than your competitors, and you have something. john, for the type of work that you do, there are relatively average prices, and there are some that are just crazy. what enables you to charge a bit more than your competition is your experience. what makes it difficult to charge much more than your competitors is location. everyone wants to feel like they are getting the best value . value is not always cost... it is a combination of many things. |

Thanks for the input. I'm just trying to get into the mind of the consumer. I know what I need to charge for things I sell. There are things I choose not to sell simply because there is not enough profit in them. This is the reason for my original post that said that the price needs to be fair to the seller.
