Mule Wars!

Post by KnitePrince »

It never fails.. When i see someone selling mules for less than I do.. I drop my price to MATCH theirs... a few days later they have lowered their prices again... it is called stupidity.. and I have had enough of it... to prove i can be as stupid as anyone else... :shock: I am going to undercut the idiots horribly.. I have several hyndred mules, so I should be able to undercut them for a long time...
People seem to think that they HAVE to price things below what it costs to produce those things in order to sell them.
All it really takes, is a SMALL measure of intelligence to know, that if everyone settles on a decent price, then everyone will sell their product, and be able to make a "LITTLE" on what they make, without being stupid...
I have been yelled at, for my prices on leashes, Bulk Order Books, and many other things... I am really sorry if the prices upset you, I AM making a little profit on them, without burning anyone. As far as the mules go... when the other sellers decide they want to make a LITTLE profit on them, all they have to do is let me know, and I will ether stop selling, or i will raise my prices back to where they were six months ago, or a year ago, or two years ago... etc..
I ask you,, what does it take, to have friendly conversations with other sellers to settle on prices? When you see someone selling at the SAME price you do? Why in the blank would you be upset and lower your price? I am confused, but committed.. the only winner? Is the consumer!!
Unless of course someone wants to start buying up all my mules to sell later on... in which case.. they better have a LOT more money than i do (and I have a lot :P)

just thought id give my two cents

1stly i'm not in the mule busness but i understand full well where your coming from, this is an issue.
2nd i dont think its at all fair to call these people stupid for trying to sell their wares
3rd if your realy do have ALOT of money, why is this bothering you so much

also, your kinda being a hypocrite of your complaining about people undercutting you and then you go and do it yourself...

--->If you feel that strongly that your prices are fair, eventualy the competitor will run out of stock and have a measly pile of gold to show for it and your busness will eventualy come back<---

Not trying to burn you, just pointing out the facts.
