"No, what I was saying was, if an item is slow to sell for whatever reason, putting the price up, instead of down, seems to cause it to sell quicker. I have no idea why, but in most cases, it works. I don't think it's the same with AP. They can charge whatever they like because people need to use them. Most people either don't know they can post parcels with a courier or it's just not a suitable option for them. Letters, there is no choice. Unfortunately, no amount of whinging in a forum is going to change it."

I can't argue with most of that as it dovetails exactly with my thoughts on those matter, but is kind of off topic .. the bolded part of the quote I have an issue with as it would appear there is a hard-core group of posters here who would like to shout the warning message down that our days of prosperity are numbered due to the traitorous relationship our government has with the malthusian scum that is/are sending a wrecking ball through our economy ..

I think it is important people know what is going on in this country and that our government is selling our children's future down the river due to their incestuous relationship with big businesss interests intent on ripping us (the Australian population at large) a new one .. those same big business interests use the most exploitive techniques at their disposal to rip off and dehumanise as many of our citizens as possible for the most amount of profit hence you will often hear me mention the ACCC being a corrupt and complicit stooge to these vandals and I will incessently point out that this is bad for our country and lead to less employment and business opportunity for Australian based business people, more profits for fly by night raiders with swiss bank accounts and is top down corruption which is a pestulent malignancy on Australian society .. I can see no harm in expousing/expressing my viewpoint in a forum that relates directly to the subject matter at hand? I do admit I would like to change the way our ACCC routinely makes Australian based businesses unviable so their American Chamber of Commerce friends (among others) can ride rough shod over the Australian populace but as you mentioned no amount of whinging in a forum will change that .. I think it is important that people know that for the mostpart our government is a lapdog to corruption/collusion by irresposible/traitorous corporations and big business of the most deviant kind .. thats all ..
