'Rotten' Special Offer Deals - Who is to blame?
I'm reminded of a very brief, pithy, and very deep statement attributed to W.C.Fields:
Among other things, I've interpreted this to mean that if I expect to get something from someone else paying far less than what it should be worth (for whatever reason), then, I'm not being completely 'honest' - because I'm trying to get it for less than fair price.
That 'greed' then makes me a prime target for ANOTHER 'less than honest' person to take advantage of me.
Let's take a famous '$50 per day' report as an example. What's it REALLY worth? Even if you price it at 30-day earnings, the value is $1,500. A more reasonable 90-day earnings figure puts the value at $4,500.
Yet, I see it on 'sale' for - just 12 bucks
And I jump at the 'great offer' and buy... later, I discover it sucks... and feel terrible about it...
Well, surprise, surprise... there IS indeed someone to blame - and he stares back at me each time I look in a mirror!
If you see my earlier post to this thread, I mention: "Buyer beware..."
This forum is just a meeting place for individuals. All kinds of individuals. No moral or ethical yardstick is made an 'entry criterion'. Everyone, beginner to expert alike, would do well to remember this fact.
Allen did a great job creating the meetingplace. But what happens when you do business in here is first and foremost YOUR look-out - no one else's.
This had to be said - though I'm not sure how many are really LISTENING
