From: Bill Gillooly Subject: Re: EOS I'm so MAD !!! I just looked at a desktop ink jet (not for photos). The printer sells for $79 and a replacement set of ink costs $65.
Would we be happier if the printer sold for $300 and the replacement ink sold for $65? Mr. Bill .. No I wouldn't be happier. Think about your above prices. If the value of the ink is $65 then that means the printer is only worth $14. Is that good business, ethical, moral, or in any way right? No. I'll be happy when we get the proper product for said money. Yeah, the printers SHOULD be more expensive to start off but if anyone considers a set of 4 inks, probably not even a total of 2 ounces of ink, at a cost of $65 as anything close to reasonable I'd say we have a bigger problem with drug use in America that anyone knows. There's probably no more than $5 in actual product, ink, case, box, etc., in that set of 4 inks. If my math is correct that's a 1300% markup. Even if my $5 guesstimate is off and there's $10 in actual product that's a 600% markup. In either case that is nothing short of wrong.
