The Costco "Classic" pins didn't sell very well in my area. They had 3 BDK at my local Costco and they sat for months. Jack was right when he questioning Gary's strategy about not making pins his customers wanted. People want full featured pins with the Pro model being the only type of model they will buy that doesn't have all the features of a Premium/LE. Doubt you will see another Classic model.
Gary finally listened, but only after Jack decided to start his own company. Stern seems to now being doing better as they have hired people back and ramped up production. More designers + increased BOM = Higher prices. People that can't afford new are purchasing used, driving up those prices.
Sorry, don't see a big change in the immediate future. I can see a leveling off with production of pins increasing, but there is not a big enough supply glut to flood a market.
