Quoted from aztarac:Topper pricing went off the rails when Stern figured out they could sucker hundreds of dollars out of people and have kept testing the waters with higher and higher prices, which people keep paying for FOMO. Will it hit a ceiling? doubtful....$1.5k by Christmas anyone?
The resale market set the price for Stern, people listing toppers for 1k+ and people bought them. Why do you think there arent any toys on machines anymore? People buy them and screw them on. No point for makers to waste the money on them when morons pay hundreds of dollars after the fact. The 3rd party mod market and flippers are responsible.
