Honestly, like anything else the price eventually ends up being what Buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to sell at. The Bond LE is a percent example some dealers sold at MSRP, some have sold slightly above having seen the market on other games skyrocket above MSRP and the game they just sold sell for thousands more. They know a recession is here and they may or most likely may not enjoy the sales and margins they’ve had. Their running a business and trying to maximumize their profit. I have a distributor I like who actually called and asked how much above MSRP I thought was fair to both sides. He was checking with his best customers to get a read. I said I woukd love it pay MSRP or less, but I understood he could get more. He any discussed what he was thinking was fair and what I would be willing to pay over to be guaranteed a game. I also know that being a good and loyal customer and willing to pay a tad more will continue to guarantee me access to the games I want and to level customer service. Sometimes that’s a much better deal than the best price. I also know that I could get a Bond SLE if I wanted one. Chances are he will be able to get more than I am willing to pay and I’m ok with that. I like the guy and I want him to do well. I ask know he’s a high integrity guy who has done me a couple of very good turns. Again there is price and there is value. The lower price is not always the best value.
