Here is no such thing as a fair price. Fair to who? Fair on what grounds? Just buy or don’t buy.
Speaking of technical books which normally cost $50 or $60 and which I don’t usually buy due to price. I just received an email from a publisher who was having a $20 sale for their books. At that price, I bought one.
Because it was fair? No. Because it was a price I was willing to pay. It may be an unfair price at $20. It MAY be that the market is so small that if the normal price was $20...then it wouldn’t be worth writing those books in the first place.
Who knows? Surely not I. All I know is that I didn’t buy the book at $60 and did buy the book at $20.
I subscribe to SiriusXM radio for my car. I got hooked with the free 6 month trial when I bought the car. Then I canceled because they charge $18 per month. But, then they offered me $5/mo for 5 months...with some of their more popular channels excludes. I took that deal.
And every five months I call to cancel before the $18 charge kicks in. And every time they offer me the $5/m deal.
Is that fair? Fair NEVER comes into play.
There is only price offered and my willingness to pay or to do without.
