Giving away one thing to sell another is what we like to call "razor blade business". Companies like Gillette give you free razor blade handles and then stiff you by charging you a samll fortune for the blades. Printer Cartridges are the worst for that. The most expensive champagne in the world is cheap when compared to inkjet ink, which casts all of a penny a gallon to make wholesale. [money hungry fools]
Razor Blade businesses depend on you not being able to get the blades from someone else. After all, Gillette can make nine bucks on a ten dollar replacement blade, why not start a competitor that makes only four bucks selling an identical blade. An 80 percent pprofit marginnis the kind of thing that makes your average bussiness guy go all drooly and round eyed. [these are classified tricks of the trade. im letting you in on some crucial info here]
