Hey Ted, Way to go! Suggest that you increase the price to 119.95 a pint and give your close friends a 7% discount. Market Economics 101. Right? When you don't sell enough of this "valuable and hard to obtain" product, you run a "special" and lower the price a bit. Sooner or later you reach a point of equalibrium between cost of production and sales price. Then we'll know for sure just what energized water is really worth .... dollarwise! No need for an entrepreneur to ever apologize for the price of his product. Regards, : Robert Bartell
P.S. In the meantime, we are considering 2.50 a gallon cause most of our friends have lots of bucks. heh, heh, ;-) chuckle ----- Original Message ----- From: Ted Windsor <t...@home.com> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2000 8:00 PM Subject: Re: CS>List freedom > Thank you Terry: > I have given my product away free, it seems when I do this it is not > appreciated, I did not wish to enter into a word game with Dennis, thanks > again for your words of wisdom. > Blessings > Ted > > Terry Wayne wrote: > > > Listers, > > I have been a little disturbed by the responses to Ted > > Windsor concerning his product. > > > > >> jumpin' christ... you just HAVE to love somebody > > with the big swinging brass ones to try and gouge out > > $75 for a quart or so of "energised" water that they > > spent "thousand of dollars" on the equiptment to > > develop. and this on the authority of (they) "heard" > > of a fish that didn't suffocate. what more ringing > > endorsement could any reasonable being possible want? > > please take my millions of dollars and do with it what > > you will and evidence be damned. you are really > > drunvalo melchizidek in another inicarnation aren't > > you? i'd bet yer at least friends. > > > > The above paragraph communicates several ideas which I > > find offensive to be expressed on this list. > > > > One, Ted doesn't have any choice about revealing the > > details of the production of his product.
