Quoted from jonogo:

I like the idea of having a pin come with a warranty. I REALLY like the idea of getting a pin that is "plug and play", shopped, clean, awesome. And I was ready to buy retail.. TODAY.. but... I called on Monday, to see if they carried the pin. "$1795" was the price.
Tuesday: I was ready to buy, cash in hand for a pin. I called to make sure the pin was still there. The price went up 200$.. in ONE day. Thats more than 10% increase. Anyways, I still went to look at it hoping the smell of brand new $100s would lighten the mood... and was met with outright defiance. I took out the crisp $100 bills and showed him I was ready to buy... 1995 was the final price "dont matter if you pay cash or credit". Etc. Well, I only had 1800 so it was no deal. I figured the initial price was what he was willing to take. But he would not budge from the 1995 asking price.
I get having to pay over head, taxes, blah blah blah.. I ran a business for the better part of my earlier years. But why $200 in 1 day? Did he suddenly do $200 worth of work on it? NO. When I saw it today, STILL in shrink, Dust on Shrink, sitting on the ground in his storage room. I guess he jacked up the price because he thought it was 2 different people calling (ie increased demand) or maybe it was the same guy calling twice (ie desperation).. either way I call it sh*tty.
