Asus X800XT PE "only" $899 at Zip Zoom Fly

Definitely seems to be a growing trend.....it's always been done by shady companies but why are we seeing so much of this from the more reputable firms lately? Are times really that tough for eTailers?

If it still sold out while priced at $900 they should have set the price higher.

Nice to see someone gets it 🙂

 
Laws of Supply and Demand may explain the prices, but there are theories on consumer backlash, i.e. in the future shop at a competitor when you want something. They may rake in the huge margins now, but they may be losing out on future repeat business...
 
well they made it low supply and everyone wants to grab em.
so thats how they jack the price up to see who is the most desperate dude to buy it 200% over the MSRP

True in the case of the standard B&M big name shops. As far as how it applies to internet etailers...I'm not so certain. People who buy off the internet will most likely go where the prices are lowest. These clowns may gouge now but as soon as they offer a great price on a particular item, the consumers will be back.
 
It blows when u get on the video forums less and less due to the majority of posts being as uninteresting as this one.
