Why r sum people willing to pay more for food than others?

Question

i have got a shop for eg a mars bar is priced marked at 35p by the manufacture i sell it at 35p some people say its a rip of others dont why?

Answer 1

It depends how much you want it!!

A pint can be one price in one bar and more expensive somewhere else, but if I want that pint I'm gonna drink it!

Same as the Indian Take-Out I get on the way home - the one further away may be cheaper, but damned if I'm gonna walk that far for it when there's one right on the corner!!!

Answer 2

You should charge what at the recommended price! Good on you!

Answer 3

cuze they have larger stomakes.... so they need more than others!!!

Answer 4

those who are willing to pay more are the ones who knows how to enjoy life.

Answer 5

Why are you ripping people off .then

Answer 6

some people are rich or they don't have time to look for cheap foods.

Answer 7

its called 'supply and demand' where a customer has a demand for this product, where a high demand to small supply- it makes business sence to maximise the price.

ie. a can of coke can fetch £100 in a desert, but 50p in a shopping centre- supply and demand.  if however ppl don't want a product, and it is high supply, then it is sold at a low cost.

the ultimate way price is set is, if you are willing to pay it...the price will not go down.

Answer 8

depends how much you have to spend dosnt it

Answer 9

some people are so pathetic that they will quibble over a couple of pence as they have nothing better to do

Answer 10

Well there are many reasons for this. It may be a case of differing wealth. But then again, this often has no effect. Its mostly about the perceived worth of items that makes a difference.

Eg, A person who really loves mars bars tends not to look at the price and are willing to pay anything for it. Versus, say a mother who thinks mars bars are bad for your health and have little value. She would be more conscious of the money she was handing over.

Answer 11

coz those who say its a rip dont like mars and tehy dont want to buy it.. but igf a guy really likes it and wants it then he will surely dont mind spending some money for it..

Answer 12

Some people feel that they have to complain about everything - I live with someone like this and I cannot tell you how embarrassing and boring it gets.

I've worked in retail and programmed EPOS till systems and the one thing that we all agreed on was if the product came in priced (RRP) packaging that was the price it went out at.

If they don't like it, they can always shop somewhere else.

Just smile sweetly and think 'YEAH Yeah Yadda Yadda' until they shove off.

Answer 13

Sum people have more money than sense.  Lucky  blighters.

Answer 14

they have to spend their hard earned money somehow and feel better if it costs them more

Answer 15

Well, food is the one thing that I dont skimp on. I will pay whatever it costs for food but I will wait until something goes on sale for clothes.

where as other people are the complete opposite.
