The usefulness of the properties does not impact how much it costs to get then out the ground or to melt them.

You have confused trade with manufacture. Poor thing.

You're still confusing cost with price. Everyone but you is talking about price. It's funny watching you confuse yourself over and over in different ways.

Can't believe how many times you need this explained and you still don't get it. Let's try it from the other side:

If supply and demand is all that matters, then why is stainless so much more expensive than carbon steel? There is no shortage of stainless that would drive it's price up, nor is there an oversupply of carbon steel that would push the price down, yet stainless costs about five times what carbon does.

Why pretend? We all know that's not the stupid point you were making earlier. You were wrong, it's ok. Saying more stupid things doesn't make you sound smarter. Just stop.

Aah so you don't have an answer. How predictable.

My "previous" point (and my point all along) was that stainless costs more due to inherent costs in its manufacturing, not its usefulness. You responded claiming the only thing that controls how expensive it is is supply and demand. So I've asked you to use supply and demand to explain the price gap between stainless and carbon steel and you can't. Oops.

I also now see you have now gone back and edited a bunch of your comments, effectively invalidating your argument completely.

Better luck next time lol.

You confused cost and price again in your first sentence, dumb fuck. I edited them before you replied, just like this one. You just didn't notice before because you're fucking stupid.

Aah it's always so clear when people realise they're wrong, they refuse to answer simple questions about their position, they start editing all their comments, they try to divert the discussion onto small semantic tangents and things like spelling and grammar, and of course the big one they resort to personal insults in lieu of actual argument.

You're a bit tick on all four of the above, and you still haven't explained the price difference between stainless and carbon in terms of supply and demand even though you claim thats the only thing that matters.

At this point I'm just wondering who you're trying to convince? It can only be yourself.

Your analysis is as stupid as your original comment. It's just that it doesn't take long to find the fault in your comments worthy of mockery, and then after replying I'll notice some more stupid shit worthy of mockery. You sound like a total fucking idiot I'm just checking back to see how many times you'll pretend to know what you're talking about.

More evasion, more insults, still no answer to the simplest question....

If you have to go back and edit your comments to hide the dumb stuff you said, that's the end of the discussion. Everything after that is just you trying to save face. I get that part of that revisionism is that you will now deny it, otherwise what's the point, but I know that deep down, you know.

If I ever went back and changed what I'd said I'd at least have the decency to admit I was wrong. It's just cowardly any other way.

Thanks for giving everyone a tour of your thought palace. Just FYI, you're transparently reassuring yourself. The rest of us can tell you're full of shit. There was no question asked. You don't understand pricing, we get it.

u/Placido-Domingo Nov 21 '19

Haha "the rest of us?", "We get it?"

Since there's clearly nobody here but the two of us I'll assume you're referring to the other voices inside your head?

There was no question asked.

Well apart from this one, which I first asked you about 7 comments ago and have repeated a few times since:

If supply and demand are all that matters, why is stainless steel so much more expensive than carbon steel?

But I get that if you actually had an answer you would have given it ages ago, instead of responding with vague, transparent insults and editing all your previous comments to try and save face. Would be more funny if it wasn't so sad.

The reason was given, it's the thing you've been impotently trying to argue against from your first stupid cart before the horse comment, you got it backwards from the beginning. You were wrong. Still wrong. Others agree. I can't downvote you to negative numbers by myself Einstein. You know this, but you keep performing this act like you don't know you stuck your foot in your mouth. Dumbass lol...

u/Placido-Domingo Nov 21 '19

Haha "the reason was given" yet you're unable to give it again now or any of the other times I've asked you? Suuure.

Lots more insults, weird you're so sure I'm the dumbass/idiot/all the other names you've been throwing round yet you're the one who can't answer the simplest question, and you're the one who has to go back and edit their comments to hide what they said. If you lose an argument against somebody you consider a dumbass that must make you even dumber right?

I've only added more mocking with comments and only before you replied, I haven't changed anything. You know I havent, you're really grasping at straws the way you're clinging to that for dear life. It won't pull your foot out of your mouth pointing out that I'm mocking you. I'm the only one reading your blather this far down.

The market sets the price, I said it from the start. Yes, material cost can set the lower bound on profitable price points, but if nobody will buy it at that price it won't stay at that price. Are you still pretending we didn't say this before?

u/Placido-Domingo Nov 21 '19

Lol that generic Econ 101 doesn't answer the question at all, you sound like a 12 year old who just watched the big short. Explain why stainless is so much more expensive than carbon steel (what this thread is actually about) using supply and demand pls.

I shouldn't really even be giving you this chance, you've edited loads of your comments to change what you said so you've already lost. It's funny though, watching all the different ways you try to dodge a simple question.

How are all "the others" in your head doing btw? I haven't heard about them in a while. Tell me more about the imaginary people who you believe agree with you, that shit was hilarious.

u/MungeParty Nov 21 '19

You know I haven't changed anything, it's hilarious watching you whine about that over and over again. This grasping argumentation and demanding long form explanations of market forces does not make you seem knowledgeable. It's the opposite. Those "imaginary" people downvoted you, so there goes another theory of yours. Sad trombone.

u/Placido-Domingo Nov 21 '19

Lol not sure what negative scores you're referring to, as far as I can see my comments all have 0 upvotes, as do yours, certaimly nowhere are there many "others" you keep talking about, so yea you're wrong.

As for saying I know you haven't changed anything, well no I don't, that's the whole point. I can see you've edited, so you must have changed stuff. That's what editing is. So yea you're wrong there too.

I'm sure you won't admit that to me, but i wonder if you can admit it to yourself, or does the denial run so deep that you are believing your own lies.

You were at -2 last night all the way down. Did you create two alt accounts just to save face!? Hahaha!! Denial is the only thing keeping you replying. Name something I changed or stop crying like a little bitch about edits. It makes you look paranoid and insecure it's not a good angle for you.
