Yes. There has been a $1,000 price increase on New Ruby Red’s according to the info I got from the distributor.
Quoted from bobukcat:
They certainly can mark-up games and sell them for whatever they want, the fact they have three and no other distributors have any may be because he's asking $10500 for them though.
Maybe it is a mark up then? Would make sense I guess. I do not pay mark ups for anything, cars especially. If I see a mark up, that’s when I walk. I walked because I took what was said to me as a JJP initiated price Increase. Felt kind of strange to go up so much in less than a year. It did made sense to me since Stern did same in the new year. I would be surprised for a distributor mark up on a WoZ RR. Still puzzling. The distributor did not say it was a mark up just that there has been a price increase.
If it is a mark up I get the hustle, get what you can get, just not from me.
If it is a mark up rolling the supply and demand dice, the dist. could’ve sold one for $9,500 yesterday. Still could today.
On the flip side as far as supply and demand goes, you’d think there would be a mark-down on Yellow Brick Road Editions since they are everywhere. I’d be a buyer for a YBR at $9,000-$9,500 new. Seems like a fair price for taking a super cool mech out. After a year YBR’s are still everywhere.
JJP shows $9,500 on their site but out of stock?
