Quoted from Who-Dey:So how much do you think a new Stern Pro should cost dnast?
Don't know but a premium should be $5,026.82 delivered. Not MSRP but Street.
I paid $3800 for a delivered LOTR in December of 2003. Adjusted for inflation that's $5,026.82. So should be the same profit margin for Stern today at that price. Most people would consider LOTR to be a premium class pin in relation to how they are making them today. I guess a Pro should be around $3719 delivered (street price).
Quoted from Nexyss:That doesn't even make sense. Stern is owned by investors, and no investor will allow a company to make the same profit year over year. They must increase the profit constantly. They either raise profit per machine, or they need to increase the volume...and they always prefer both. They also invested in a new building recently. They have to pay for that with increased profits.
I work for an investor owned company. We just had the best year in the company's history, but it was a bad year since we didn't meet the growth that the owners wanted. That is the reality of most business these days.
I don't believe Stern is investor owned.
