more and more pinheads and OPs won't be able to buy nib with these crazy prices, not everybody can buy 2-3 pins every year.
at some point price will have to go down.
if i were in stern shoes, i wouldn't have raised the price when JJP jacked up the price for woz, best price win, selling more and making money on quantities and hurt JJP in the process.
dialed in at 8k for a standard edition is still way too much, if stern come back to the regular price 6.5k +/- for a premium it's gonna hurt JJP. first one who's gonna do that win.
