refilling cartridges (comment #2)
On 12 Jul 2003 at 18:36:40 GMT, Scaupaug scribbled:
-I won't pay those inflated prices no matter how many people claim -they are "proper". I don't think anybody said those prices are "proper." I said they're the common, usual retail prices at the few stores that still sell fountain pen ink. -For regular writing fluid it is not justified as a markup. The pen companies, stores, and vendors would probably disagree, saying that higher prices are the only way to cover their costs (and pay their kids' ways thru college) based on tiny sales volumes to a small market. I'm grumbling about it, just as you are, but that's undoubtedly what they'd say. -I think a lot of people are again paying for flashy packaging. No doubt! -- ---------------------------------------------- david moeser -- erasmus39 on yahoo Censornati, Ohio - USA ---------------------------------------------- * A seminar on Time Travel will be held two weeks ago * (Headers munged to foil spammers; real info in taglines) |
