G'day Birders
Perhaps we can put this incredibily interesting topic to bed with a
win-win. The 'other folk' agree to pay the organiser's costs and the
organiser gets sea sick for them

Hi all,
Surely, as in all purchases of goods or services, one checks the price
and judges if, in ones own opinion, that price is fair or not.
If I buy a ride on a pelagic or any other birding trip I do so because I
am happy to pay the amount asked so as to receive the hoped for outcome
- a pleasant trip with pleasant companions and the chance of seeing some
birds.
It matters not to me what others pay, I have paid what to ME seems fair
value for money. If it is a good trip I am happy to pay the same again;
if not, then I will go somewhere else. And the same argument stands for
a box of eggs, a book or any other purchase.
But for the main point of my email: I doubt that all this discussion
will resolve anything. Trips will come and trips will go. We will all
make our choices freely based on the available information at the time.
All that is happening now is that my inbox is clogged with this circular
discussion that I doubt will ever end in mutual agreement.
Please, has anyone seen any interesting birds around Victoria that may
lure me from my cold little house. I promise not to get upset because I
have had to pay $1.70/litre for petrol when someone else is getting it
for $1.64 (smile).
All said with a big smile and the hope that we are all seeing
interesting birds and listing them on the B-A atlas.
Oh, and happy winter solstice everyone
Jen
