I am turning into a cynic I guess.
That said, every price increase has held the same reaction. People calling for a boycott, stating they are never buying another NIB.
It's been that way for years. Unfortunately, while some people do hold to it, it's never going to be enough for Stern to react. I know people are hoping for change, but reality isn't there.
There are definitely a lot more choices, but Stern still can't keep up with demand. Folks here do know Stern does keep an eye on Pinside, but we don't make up a large percentage of their sales, so ten people saying "no" is more of a feel-good for yourself action, and not a kick in the bank account to Stern.
I wish it was different, but it's the reality of things.
