I look at it from the point of view of my checking account. Most customers do. And what's the old saying? Oh yeah, the customer is always right!
Well one thing's for sure. The customer is going to have the last word. And what will the last word be?
Time will tell . . .

It's not quite as simple as that. I can like a company's products but not like the way it does business. I, for one, like Spyderco products but I don't like companies that impose MAP pricing. Does that mean I won't ever buy another Spyderco? I don't know. We'll see. Let's just say that MAP pricing will never end up in the plus column when I decide whether or not to buy Spyderco knives from now on.If you want to support Spyderco because you enjoy their product and want them to be successful, the pricing structure of their future items should not change your position much. If you do not think that Spyderco knives are worth the asking price, again, the pricing structure of their knives should not change your position much.

You might be surprised. 5 of my last 6 knife purchases are from companies that don't impose MAP pricing. My plan is to give them more of my business over time. And, of course, there's always The Exchange.![]()
Not really. But I won't knowingly buy products from any companies that impose MAP pricing unless there's no other choice.
Yep. But I don't think that using MAP pricing to try to isolate us from the impact of the global economy will work. People don't go to Walmart because they have to. They go to Walmart because they want to. So you got any good recipes for tree bark?![]()

Nah. If we get into politics we'll go downhill quickly. For now, I'll just say that getting old has its advantages. With any luck at all, I won't be here when the real SHTF.It's NOT just that one thing at work here, it's much bigger and more complicated than that.
I am really trying NOT to talk politics here.![]()
