Quoted from ralphs007:I don't understand pinball companies that make mods ? Why would you turn away people wanting to buy your product? The purpose of having a Business is to sell stuff and make money? I've never seen this practice in any of my other hobbies I've been involved with?
I guess they have to keep moving to the next project,with no time to look back .
The same thing happened with the topper I bought for my Dialed In. Mezel mods stop making them,and a pinsider offered me double for what I paid for my Dialed In topper. It didn't sit right with me to charge him that much for this topper. I guess my DNA is lacking in the Greedy gene.
If they weren't limited there would be no demand.... The "limited quantities" makes people impulse buy when they would otherwise sit on it. Then, the manufacturers cash in on the hype generated by people chasing the sold out merchandise; thereby increasing future demand.... This tactic is used everywhere, the most blatant example is probably the Supreme brand.... The most expensive and most bland pinball theme of all time, and can't touch a t-shirt for less than the price of a full outfit. Good on you for not wanting to bend anyone over the barrel, but, this buying these items is basically the same as playing the stock market. You really shouldn't feel guilty for cashing in, to a point.
