Quoted from jimwe5t:Yes, Stern also got very greedy sticking it to the LE buyers on Bond. A 17% increase and the pro only having a 1% increase? Not good Stern! You’re killing your LE market. Stop worrying about the few scalpers out there. That’s just part of business.
Stern simply read the market, and is pricing their machines accordingly. Guaranteed, if people weren't paying 13K to scalpers for LEs, then Stern wouldn't be charging it. But they're not in business to make a scalper a quick couple grand. Bottom line, the "big dog" LE buyers have done this to themselves. Sorry if you were counting on that revenue stream for yourself.
