[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 49997, member: 122"] I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I'm always curious how people charge their family and friends more than market price and think they are giving them a good deal. If you are direct marketing all you beef and are able to get $1.00/lb. from all your customers that is great, and if you want to charge your family and friends the same price that is fine also. But I've always considered a "fair price" to be market price. I new a guy that raised a few hogs each year and charged his family and friends 10% over the cost he had in them. Again this is fine, and his family agreed to this. But he acted like he was doing a huge favor to them by doing this. Meanwhile hogs were selling for 20 cents that are finished on grain down the road, and his that were fed table scraps were selling for 80 cents. And he's making himself out to be a saint. I just didn't understand that logic. If you grandmothers house needs painting and she gets an estimate for $1000 from the painter in town. But she decides she wants you to do it. Would you charge her $1200 because that is a "fair" price? [/QUOTE]
