    Determining "fair" market value...

    If any vet's and/or mod's are interested in talking further, I'd appreciate it. But the root of my question is how do you determine if you are getting raped for gear (and don't get me wrong, I realize the stuff is quet cheap at it's source/country of origin.). I know individuals take great risk at helping us achieve our goals, but what's a realistic mark up?

    Look at it this way....

    What price wouldn't you pay to accomplish your overrall goals....if you feel that monetarily the price is to high, then pass, but if you want to reach your goal at whatever the cost, take the deal, true there might be better deals out there, but if you want what you want now, then dish out the loot.

    I have paid a huge mark-up before due to impatience, but the money eventually was remade, and my body reaped the benefit of me being impatient

    Sound advice, and I agree, if you want to play, sometimes you must pay.

    fair market value, really only depends on one thing: how much are you willing to spend for gear! before the discussion boards, alot of bros paid out the ass!! If you have only one source then you are very limited with options. "The law of supply and demand" I hate it!! Unless I'm a source!

    Unfortunately, I have only one, so I guess he indeed is holding the purse strings! I have been willing to pay thus far, and he abliges.
