OK, you've answered the question. Now, why aren't the gas stations listening to you?

As to the last part of your statement--um, what?!?

Yeah, right...first of all, I wasn't talking about gas stations, but ok...they're on the list. Greed is the reason those prices stay up, pure and simple.

My last statement referred to you're apparent willingness to just continue paying ridiculous prices in the name of profit...someone else's profit. Maybe it is rocket science to some people.

Since I seemed to have wandered OT, I'm over it.

Yes, it's much better to buy stolen goods and put people out of jobs. Gotta have that Couch purse, don't we?

*deliberately mis-spelled Coach, OK? Cuz I flunked rocket science.

Wow, I didnt think I said anything that wasnt common knowledge (in regards to how some flea market merchants obtain goods) but it seems to have set off a lot of folks. If anything I thought someone would thank me for the tip on lower prices.

You didn't say anything new. Like I said, anyone with any sense knows how that merchandise gets there, they'd just rather not think about it when they're shelling out their bills for those cheap razors!

Most people with "any sense" of right/wrong don't buy their crap there.

What does right/wrong have to do with paying less? Im sure no one feels wrong when they buy something 50% off at a retail store.

OK...the stolen stuff is one thing...but knock of purses??? Hey, my attitude is IF I have to pay tax dollars to house criminals, PLEASE make it for those that are dealing drugs vs making a buck off of those name brands....I can't honestly remember EVER hearing that someone was killed or became homeless or a threat to society as a whole because they became addicted to cheap, look alike bags....JMHO!

Don't look at me. I just go there for the roasted corn.

Paying less for stolen goods vs. paying more for legitimately obtained goods? Um gee, I don't even think I want to bother explaining this to an adult....and you are a parent, no less.
