Ahh yes you would buy it but demand would drop.. For example, if we sold it for 5cents a gallon, you would have surmounting demand for the product, if u increased it to 50$ a gallon demand would drop.. How so, poeple will start to conserve... That is what exatly happend in the oil embargo of the 70's. Gas prices went up people started to buy more fuel friendly cars.. But again, i am not in favor of monoplys because they are unbenifical to consumers.. Rationing out water to survive in your scenaro is quite true..

(very strange..)
That still doesnt apply. You need to drink water, and you need to pay them to get the water. You cant "conserve" drinking water. You will pay the $50 a gallon until you have no money.
Uhok if thats how you want to try and spin it - but look at your first post on the subject - here is some of what you said:
then your next response after that included this support for Joe:
I could go on, but whats the use . . .

It's ok, I confuse my students too.
Just in the interest of a constructive comment, if you're looking for a good place to buy plants, I strongly recommend Aquatic Plant Depot:
http://www.aquaticplantdepot.com/index.html
Very good customer service, good sized plants, and everything arrives alive and happy. No personal experience with AZ, but I wouldn't be inclined to shop anywhere else after buying from APD.

Ahh but it does... When water is that high of a price and a large portion of the population cannot drink water.. Many die hence a lower demand for the product... Companys weather or not a monoploy are again still bounded by the laws of supply and demand.. When water is that high, the price is above equilibrum inwhich demand and suply curves meet on the graph.. If a company bumps the price they will have inventory.. THe goal of a company is sell everthing at a equlibrum price which all products are sold and profit is made...

sorry if i am off topic. first, I have heard accounts of some shrimps being cannabilistic ( though im no shrimp expert) to suggest ,maybe a few were popped off by themselves ,,while they were on par to your house 80galjoe(they were munching on eachother in otherwards) ...
maybe they would have shipped abit better to you with an addition of ammo carb.. or sorry... what sounds to really be the case is..they forgot the cold packs!! ( haha,perhaps they heard you wrong and thought you ordered the turkey FRIED shrimp muhahaha)..
ps and this is a large psss ( and i should point out since im not an avid poster,,i may lack merit..or you can invalidate me) but speaking from 15 yrs + plus exp..shipping fish..as well as importing them...anyways.. im just saying to 80galjoe..ok sure you can EXPECT 100% live guarantees.. but over the internet..cmon get real!!!..
one poster or 2 mentioned about dabbler,,that if it werent for his being in canada..that he sounds like an inside job( i.e
eter) ,, i can actually relate to dabbler..oh residing in edmonton myself,,i may even consider him my competition ahha..
sorry i am bad at going off and babbling i was just going to convey.. from my own personal hobby experience... DOA you can say..is just a part of the game..
anyways sorry guys if im incoherant or mixing all sorts of topics here.. but like ...i found this 7 page story(thread) rather delightful..informative in a sence...it seems to touch a lot on customer satifaction..
anyways no matter how much expertise you have in shipping..sometimes it IS hit and miss ..for your stuff to get to you there in one piece( or alive) ..hmmm at least when it comes down to it..i guess there are so many factors.. that it just boils down to quite abit ..
there was someone else who brought a good point up..about the .. and having 75,000 + customers for poor peter there..but seriously...it is just common knowledge.. THAT you can't make everyone happy.. someone was right if you change your policy to cater .then people are just going to take advantage of it.. then ultimatly someone also mentioned ..as you progressivly climb the sizes of a corporation..mcdonalds- microsoft... well then there are all sorta of disastified customers..who become lost in the shuffle etc..etc..
end of story...sorry for not posting much and when i do..its questionable muahhaha... sry if i went off topic..but no .i think i did ok...this is what you call confidence haha just joking..
don't worry joe.. things will work out for you in the end..even if you dont get your moola back.. if thats the case ..youll just have been had!! haha..but like...dont worry man.. never know when youll get a break...hahah.. maybe just slap peter another email..make it very long this time though... just to favor your situation.. try not to be RUDE (haha).. and like maybe you will get lucky..maybe you will get a refund..( i know instore credit is not your desire ..) hehe..sry i am abusing my post privaledge..there is such a thing as excessive and overboard..so i shall retreat...
not meaning to offend anyone..in fact i am just partaking my early morning humour..hope i made a few souls crack up,,i dont know..have fun everyone..

Don't buy fish at AAG
I ordered fish and plants two times. If you don’t mind the very high shipping cost, their plants are ok but fish orders are incomplete and poor quality. Both of my orders were only partly filled and YOU DO NOT GET A REFUND. If you’re lucky you may get an in-house credit (to have additional aggravation with your next order.) The quality of livestock is poor and only DOA’s are replaced. Compare this to “Petsmart” were you get two weeks warranty; granted they don’t have some fish that are available at AAG but there are several better mail order places.
The other problem is you can’t talk to anyone and left messages are ignored. If you send them an email it is also most often ignored. I filed a complaint at BBB and I encourage you to order somewhere else.
