Quoted from Ninefingers:This is good that the price won't be higher, and JPP got what they wanted. They created urgency by announcing a future price increase and many people preordered already just for that reason.
I don't think the post said it won't be any higher, it just won't have the price increase on the 15th. I wouldn't be surprised if it does go up, or when the 1500 LE's are gone the price stays the same for the standard version.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Jacks not trying to screw anyone. He's trying to get as much money as he can out of each game. Which is good business sense. It's the ones that go along with the outrageous prices, that feed the machine. Business side of things. Jack should charge as much as people are willing to pay. But to a point. if he's only getting 5% of the sales because he jacked it up to much, then that's a bad move. 1000 LE"s are sold to distributers. No telling how many distributers are still stuck with and will be by the end of 2014. There are plenty to go around for every person that buys NIB. No risk running out on this one.
And you know all this because you are Jack? Give us a break, and sell your kook aid somewhere else.
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Ugh, that is so wrong. Ideally end up at zero but always better to pay when due and not in advance.
Wrong for you not for others. I have an employee who lives by this principal of paying more taxes so he is guaranteed a refund. I don't get it, but he swears by it. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't make it right for everyone. That is what free agency is all about.
Quoted from Crash:Distributors, lol.
And you know this because you are Jack?
Quoted from hlaj78:I hope that he's not your CFO.
No. An employee. I don't agree with it, but that's the way he rolls, and no-one is going to change his mind. It doesn't work for him. He's a payment plan kind of person. What I'm saying is, his way is 'right' for him, others have other ways that are right for them. No need to judge.
Quoted from vid1900:Yes, it does.
You were going to sell your MM in the next few months. It's restored, as close to perfect as you can imagine. You were going to ask $10k for it.
Then you see that people are paying $15k for them. Sometimes even more.
Are you still going to sell yours for $10k?
The perceived quality of pin that JJP is producing is looking far superior to what Stern is now producing, so that comparison between an equal MM is not the same.
