You need to talk to your dad some more about Economics. Your
reasoning is flawed. Assuming that you owned ALL the MGs you either
would have to keep them all or sell some. If you had ALL the MGs and no
one else wanted one, then your lot in life would be comparable to a guy
who had a garage full of cow pies. Pretty nice, but who cares?
If a buyer comes along, he, and he alone, decides what he will
pay. Therefore HE determines the value. Pay attention now- it's that
person, not you! I don't give a
rat's ass if you have 37,000 MGs in your garage, if someone doesn't come
along w/ some cash, your inventory value is right up there w/ the cow
pies. Get it??

>I wouldn't? Yes I control the supply, but no one will buy an MG from me
if they don't pay me the price I want.

>Look at Intel for example. They make the chip inside most computers,
they sell it to distributors...at a price *they* set. This price then
determines the final cost of your computer. Only Intel can make Intel
chips, so they control the flow...and the prices are fueled by demand.
Close-the prices are set by demand. It does not set the final price for
the computers. You and I do. For the sake of argument, let's assume that
the computers did not sell. How long do you think it would take for the
price to come down? Intel only sets the price the computer retailer
must pay for the Intel stuff. The retailer could give it away, if he
chose. It is back to the supply and demand philosophy
>By the way I am not ignorant in this subject, my dad has a masters in
International Economics and another degree in International Trade. You
have no idea how many hours I have had to listen to my dad ramble on
about trade/economics...
"Ramble?"
>>By the way, what has the esthetics of your web site have to do with
whether or not the demand for LBC has increased or no?

>Well since you are on this list I assume you can read, so I don't have
to teach you that. If you had read the original post, obviously you
didn't, you would have realized that the theme of it was that MGs aren't
in demand as much because the younger generations aren't interested in
them. Now use you brain, and I am sure you can come up with an answer to
your question.
Totally uncalled for. Grow up!!!
