    Quoted from metallik:

    This is basically it. Stern knows there's enough high-end collectors with OCD who simply can't stand having a gap in the topper lineup, so they'll pay a thousand bucks for $50 worth of plastic and LEDs.
    Adding a gameplay mode was even more genius. Writing the mode is a one-time cost, and the mode can be tweaked and recycled for the next game at minimal additional cost. Y'all keep watering Stern's money tree buying these toppers LOL fine by me if it helps keep the pro game prices lower...

    Yes and don't forget Stern's #1 topper shill - you know the buy, buy, buy guy that all the lemmings follow

    OP
    Quoted from Crumbalimb:

    Zach, your a dealer and you know what games and toppers are worth, What’s a dealers perspective on you selling a topper or le knowing you could get more if you order a bunch and hold out or wait for the right time to get more money.Is that business as normal, or is that a cash grab squeezing the most out of customers. My outside looking in viewpoint is that’s a bad long term business strategy because you would probably loose repeat customers. Or because your buying and putting out a lot of cash for games and toppers you should get the extra cash and not random people flipping.

    There will be no response because as the #1 shill nobody wants to upset the apple cart and actually admit that the overpriced plastic is only worth a fraction of what they sell for. The lemmings follow the word that they heard from all the multi media hype train created to move product and make bank for all these guys- Buy, Buy, Buy Suckas
