Hold up, even the aibershter doesn’t consider the CPI?

He counts out but only in the right column.

At a price the competitor feels they would rather sell and move on than continue to compete.

How much did they pay for Manischewitz?

[Euclid]

At what price?

A horse head

I'm curious, do you have first hand information?

Not first hand. But well known that they forced Haddar to sell

I don't have first hand info either, but you could force someone to sell by giving them an offer they can't refuse

because if they can bully them to sell at a low price why would they offer a high price?

Isn't that the point of this thread though?

To assume the worse in everyone from the top down.

By the way @ya given that you're in manufacturing you surely know stories of manufactures losing big time with unforseen circumstances right? Like the guy who invests in importing Sukkahs from China and the container arrives on Chol hamoed? Or the one who ordered Matze covers and they end up having a challah on them, like who's supposed to take that risk?

And you know what, that Chinese manufacturer who sold you that Sukkah? There was a guy sometime before who invested time and money to get a manufacturer to produce that product, which he was then able to sell to you at the "expense" of the "mainstream" people who paid "top dollar"

if you are a professional these stories rarely happen. If you are like most you already placed your Sukkah order with China. Not sure what you are trying to imply but all businesses have risk. Regardless if your a bully or no.

I have a first hand story with Kayco, I'm an avid fan of Gefen mayonnaise, at some point I bought a case and the taste/texture just wasn't what it used to be, I emailed Kayco they mailed me a check for the full retail value of the product plus a whole box of goodies
