That’s not how it works here new member, my comments are not ad hominem or indeed bleak. Why do you charge so much for water filters,? thanks in advance for a direct response to this specific question
Your comments and questions are banter, you're being a smart ass. If you want to discuss pricing let's first discuss the fundamentals of business. A company manufactures a product, the price is set and it's sold to Distributors, who set their prices, then retailers buy the products and mark them up before selling them to customers. That markup, in the last step (where we come into play), is dismal at best.
Furthermore, I understand Forum etiquette, I've personally been a member of this forum and others for over a decade. This means I fully understand trolls without a purpose are a part of it.
If you have questions regarding pricing, call the manufacturer, ask them how they justify such margins...
