Akkid17 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 A newer trend that too many companies are moving toward is the limited release and quantity ‘drops’ that create a frenzy and a crazy resale market. It makes it very difficult for a person to buy a product they actually want directly from the company and likely will have to pay an artificially inflated price to eventually acquire it through resellers that are able to snipe the drop. Really frustrating and scummy marketing, it’s really sad to see some gun and accessory companies starting to be a part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 they only do it, because people allow it. Kinda like sales,, raise the price then mark it off, or the car dealer,, "It wont last long" But yeh, the people that dont play along do without.. but usually you didnt need it anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBill Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 100% cost mgmt. If you get 30, 60 or 90 days credit terms from a vendor, build enough hype & get flippers to clear you out you eliminate 90% of your working capital requirement & inventory risk. You're down to rent, labor and machine ownership/rental. Just in time capitalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 12-18 month lead times while being lied to constantly is much worse IMO. This is a positive step in the right direction for the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
