Rich L said:I've seen times when a business will come in low x out the competition then when in control jack up the prices.I wonder what would happen if a great many wood burns gave up wood burning for the low gas prices at the present.Would they raise the gas prices after they get you in their pocket?I say don't fall for the okey doke and leaves yourself vulnerable.
That's a very wise observation, Rich, and one of the classic scenarios taught in economics--a monopolist underpricing the competition to bankrupt them, then raising prices once the competition is gone. In fact, competition forces all companies to keep their prices low. So wood burners help everyone, by increasing competition, and reducing demand for other energy sources. :coolsmile:
