Wo Wo Wo..........
Stop quarelling mates. Dear Amarbir, you may be almost right as being in your zone. But as far as I know, there is not ample amount of peoples in India, engaged in recovery at 2 $. Though, I am totally unaware with your city or province. I have got many pals from India, but perhaps never heard about doing recoveries for a couple of dollers (Ofcourse, before HDDGURU ). But, There may be an algorithm working behind it. Perhaps, you get a lotta work without much stress. And, you earn by the quantity. Like, you get 2 $ for a recovery, and do 50 recoveries every day.
So, you earn your amount in this way. There is no problem in this.
And rest of my friends, Amarbir is right on his place. We know, that we don't even touch the drive for this amount, but, as the economy does matter, there may be a huge price difference also. As, I have heard, things are cheaper in India. The same thing, we get in 100 $ in our country, that is availabe at 10 $ in India. So, the cost of things are very low and mates like amarbir may face no problem in doing so. As per the calculation, his 2 $ is equalant to our 20 $.
. So, we should not criticize him, but support him and let him do via his own way. As we had also stepped up one by one. Today when we charge 200 $ for a recovery, we have not started it in a bang. We have reached here step by step. So, Wish him all the best, and support him. As he also belongs to our family.
And, I am also agree, that ACELAB should give some relief in their prices. Because it will harm nobody else, but ACE itself. Cause, peoples buy pirated clones only because of the price factor. I am not saying, that they should make their prices equalant to the chinese pirated craps, But atleast, a reasonable amount. As chipsang has got the point that giants, like Microsoft has also done it so to kick out the piracy, then can't ACE think about this simple thing ?
BTW, As far as I know, this topic is to discuss about the prices of PC3k, not about the prices of the work done by us. There is a separate topic for that. So, I think, it would be nice to grow up only with the topic relavant posts, atleast, when there is a dedicated topic for that another issue. Please don't mind, It's my personal comments.
And for Chipsang, Darkforce1 and Amarbir (As all of them are Indian)......
Happy Raho Ever ! (As one of my Indian friend always says....)
