I violated my own rule. I knew not to do it and I still did it. It was a huge
mistake. Please take it off the list now.

Oh please, I am all for free markets. It was VW that built the bus. Ben had a
dealership remember? He wasn't VW.
I was just making the point on the amounts we're talking about. Yes it's
supply and demand but there is such a thing as gouging.

Will: You need an accounting lesson. One day when you are not doing
anything I will trade you an accounting lesson for some VW lessons. If it
weren't for corporate profits and the free market economy we would never have
had the VW bus. Why do you think Ben Pon thought of the bus? He was a
salesman, in it for profit. And look what he did.
