If you prevented other people from bidding, yesI like to listen to Steve as well.
I bought car at a auction for 1000.00
Sold it for 3000.00 . Does that mean I screwed the buyer????
Offsetting losses and tripling your profit margin are contradictoryIt's all supply and demand . When you control the supply you can create the demand. The meat packers got hammered with fines ect for price fixing in chicken and pork. So they jack up the price of beef to offset the losses.
Should we be suprised that the price Of nitrogen has gone up and will continue to with the millions of tons of nitrogen now being needed for diesel exhaust fluid.
People need to decide what they want
If you want cleaner exhaust then nitrogen prices will go up forcing food prices up.
If you want electric cars you have to get lithium for the batteries from some where . You can either allow china to manipulate the price and supply or you can stop protesting the mine in Nevada that has one of the largest supplies of lithium in the world.
Same with petroleum prices if you suddenly cut a huge amount from the supply and increase demand prices will go up
How does that screw the buyer??If you prevented other people from bidding, yes
I mean this is quite a roast... but.. $20/lb and $400??? View attachment 11352
If you make it impossible for the buyers to bypass you, or for others to do what you do, you screw both buyers and sellersHow does that screw the buyer??
And then you say live cattle prices are to blame for low demandThe price is right there. You don't have to buy it. When it gets to high it won't sell. That's how it should work.
Why can't buyers bypass me. ?If you make it impossible for the buyers to bypass you, or for others to do what you do, you screw both buyers and sellers
Maybe you make it so buyers need to post a bond of a million bucks to get a bidding card? Just make them need an army of people to fill out paperwork to "protect the public" from E coli... there's tons of different ways of making it impossible, those are just a coupleWhy can't buyers bypass me. ?
How am preventing anyone else from bidding??
How much profit should one be legally allowed to make????
No they aren't losses in pork and chicken so raise you profit in beef to offset the loss.Offsetting losses and tripling your profit margin are contradictory
Posting a bond or filling out paperwork is hardly impossible. In fact packers do it all the time. Many businesses are expensive to start and operate. The fact that you can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done. It's done all the time.Maybe you make it so buyers need to post a bond of a million bucks to get a bidding card?

Yes, having to post a bond for a million bucks is easy when you're a multi billion dollar company.. that's my pointPosting a bond or filling out paperwork is hardly impossible. In fact packers do it all the time. Many businesses are expensive to start and operate. The fact that you can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done. It's done all the time.
I acknowledge there's a big problem. But your blaming a business for making a profit. The problem is government regulations. Two choices. Deregulation or total regulation. I know which one I'm for....
How many people on this forum are charging more for their beef than the grocery store? .....damn crooks.
Since this is a fresh cut of meat I would say that part of the price is a built in percentage for "spoilage" to cover when nobody buys it before the sell by date. The retailer doesn't just write off the cost it's passed along to the consumer.I mean this is quite a roast... but.. $20/lb and $400??? View attachment 11352
