I guess what Im trying to get at is that the "salt wars" (see gas wars) are getting ridiculous, people will buy salt at 64.99 which is more than reasonable, selling it for your cost or below your cost to fight for customers is getting old, reefers have never had it so good, I just hate it when you see hobbiests complaining about stores selling salt for a reasonable price, when its the lowest price they can afford to sell it for. This isnt about my business incase you are wondering, I dont sell salt. My point is that if you dont want to have any complaints about livestock and inventory, you cant be complaining about price, cuz when you complain about price and they feel they have to lower their prices, their margins go way down and they cant afford to keep things the way they were...
If I lived in the states and was to mailorder salt, which is the cheapest way to get it in the usa as far as I know, I would be paying between $66 and $75 USD before any local taxes, thats the cheapest way they can get it to their door. that is more than we pay for sure! Sure it says $34.99 on their site but wait till it gets to you... the west coast of bc has the lowest salt prices in north america to my knowledge,
I just dont think reefers out west know how good they have it...
