No connection. If I win a lotto, I'd buy a set. |

Sale appears to be over & 5 sets sold... supply & demand. Say what you want about capitalism, @ least it's not communism. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sale appears to be over & 5 sets sold... supply & demand. Say what you want about capitalism, @ least it's not communism. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If you were referring to my earlier mention of capitalism, I may not have been clear. I don't want to veer into politics, but I think that it is fair to say that capitalism is perhaps one of the greatest inventions of all time and is the only system that fosters innovation and progress. It has revolutionized virtually every aspect of our lives and increased the standard of living of the vast majority of people on Earth. In this situation, while I am not a huge fan of the seller, she currently corners the market on supply. She found 5 people who were willing to pay her price, which is supply and demand. Good for her, and good for the 5 people who were happy to pay that price (which is what I meant earlier). If she were to drop her price to say $250, she would find that while her margin is lower, she would sell far more units, and her profits would be greater. This leads me to surmise that her supply is tight, or she lacks the capital to purchase a large number of units that would allow her to sell them at a reasonable price and still make a large profit. As Mark stated earlier, if she does not have exclusive rights to the manufacture of these, she will soon have competition, and she will have left a bad taste in the mouths of at least 5 people, perhaps more. |
