How dare you hint that someone may be gouging prices ........:shock: :shock:

I just paid 26 euro for round bails (4x5 and 350-400kg) stored under roof until and as I need them and picked up by me. Prices are a whole lot higher here for equipment, seed, etc. Fuel is between $8 and $9 a gallon and there is a 19% sales tax. When there is a shortage, the majority of folks sell less hay for the same price and have steady customers. Someone tries to get fat by taking advantage of someones misfortune shows themselves for what they are and spend the good years choking on their own hay that noone will buy.

Local guy baled up some small bales that may have weighed 20 pounds and put them in the paper. Wife called about them and he said 2.20 euro a bale. Wife said it was a little high and he told her to start making her own hay. I bought about 200 bales between 40 and 50 pounds of the same mix and within 200 meters of where he baled his for 1 euro each loaded on the wagon w/ my help. Kind of a small community here and that ole boy won't need to bother baling hay again unless he wants to eat it himself.

When there is a real crisis, folks get together and truck it from the former East countries and still get it (including transport) at reasonable local prices.

To each their own though........

Good Luck,

Dave
