Ana, >> "got a 1.05 gig HD for $985!" (and the last is true 🙂 << They paid too much you can get a Micorpolis 1.2GB for $749.00….of course it's probably not going to be any good for Multimedia but that's the problem with buying just on price….isn't it. <g> >> Do you think that it will do so harm to the dealers community here? << I don't know if It would…But that's not the point the point is that I've felt more comfortable quoting List on the open forum and letting everyone else work their deals out privately. It's how Business is done…If your out at a coffee shop and you hear to guys arguing about prices in public don't you think that that's rather rude…especially when you may have invited a client with you that was quoted higher by you just before you walked in. Get It! Why should you be able to dictate prices in somebody elses deal? Besides it's not as simple as just plain "PRICES" What kind of service goes with that price…does the dealer really know his stuff? You seem to forget that in business it's the perceived value that is important. If you devalue the product and services of an entire industry by distilling all the issues down to simply Price your missing the value of the industry entirely. You write for a magazine don't you? Suppose I said that I buy a paper every morning and it only "costs" me 25 cents…now why should I pay $3.00 dollars for your Mazazine when my paper only costs 25 cents. Same aggument! It doesn't make sense. If someone wants to do business with Krazy images on this forum but I come along and say "Hey….Your Paying tooo Much" That automatically puts you in the position of having to defend your pricing. NOW….You may be worth every penny of it but how does this perspective client know that…You see I've brought in the issue of "PRICE" Above all else! It's not really very fair or really a very smart way to do business. There is such a thing as Quality and Service as well as something else called Integrity. Try to put a price on that! I'm not sure that your "Price" Argument relates to listing dealers but I would see no harm in listing dealers and authorizationa as long as there was no pricing. Besides Prices change weekly…who the hell is gonna keep up with it? <BG> Murph'
