CapForge - You are welcome. Nothing like learning from the University of Hard Knocks - and it is said wise people learn from others mistakes.

Yvonne - True, demand and supply effect prices. But that wasn’t the point I was trying to make. The point was how much “value” the bottled water was in various scenarios. If someone asks you for $20 for that water in the city and if you dying of thirst, you will pay that price since you value life more - wouldn’t you? So as a seller, you need to first establish trust and value before you can charge a premium.

Great roundup! I also appreciate your thoughtful comments for each contribution. As for a bottle of water - yes, supply and demand definitely do affect prices too.

I’ve linked to this from my July 12th post - http://www.growyourwritingbusiness.com/?p=158

I look forward to your next blog carnival.

Thanks for mentioning a few of my posts! And for taking the time to read my “resume” of past and present startup experiences.

I certainly feel like I’ve covered a lot of ground- venture backed startups, SBA financed business acquisition (and subsequent cash out), and many bootstrapped startups. Experience has been a great teacher, and hopefully I can pass some wisdom and lessons learned on to others going along the same roads.

And if anyone has any specific questions or suggestions for post topics, please let me know!
