Bruce,
As you so aptly stated "a good deal is where both parties are satisfied" when
the deal is completed. If Joe Bird pays $500 for the sofa both parties are
satisfied. Recently we saw a deal take place on a BB for $50,000 that recieved a
lot of scrutiny. Again the buyer evidently was satisfied and surely the seller
was and I was happy for both of them. It's not up to me to critique Joe Birds
deal. Again it's the free enterprise system at work. No one is concerned about
how many parts off the Rich Archie BB will not sell, except to the junk dealer.

Greg: I am a 3rd generation businessman. My father tought me that a
good deal is "good" when both parties are satisfied. The seller or
provider of a service must charge enough to show a reasonable profit.
Otherwise he will not be in business long enough to provide service on
the product. The buyer or receiver of the service is entitled to a
product that works properly and is made well enough to last. A very
simple business philosophy. I can understand why Mike made that
comment. The RV community has a reputation of being downright cheap! On
the other hand the RV dealerships have a reputation of being
incompetent.

In this case the seller wanted $8.00 a foot for 24 year old aluminum
mouldings. When I pointed out they were only $5 new he adjusted his
price to match!! How about $500 for the original sofa!! That should be
a $50 to 100 item !!!! New Jacknife sofas are about $800.
