Thread: IGF-1 LR3 Confusion

It's like that with everything though bro.. Some shops like to sell stuff at ridiculous prices because they think people will say "You get what you pay for". Like it gives them a Superior Image, the Cool Kids, if you will. Don't discredit some of the cheaper shops... just make sure you research and check out reviews so you know your in good hands. You can get top quality products at a resonable price. I promise

Completely understand that concept, but even then, the price range is a bit more narrow than this example to say the least. Don't get me wrong, I'm the first one to support bargain vendors who don't price jack or play those marketing games as you mention.

It just feels like there may be more to the story in this case with certain vendors charging 300% + more for the exact same product and quantity!

I'm sure that the guy selling at 300% didn't start selling it at that price. If I had to guess, they started out low and gradually raised prices, until they saw diminishing sales due to price then cap'd it. It's always worth what someone is willing to pay

Ah Hah! Great point! That is one explaination my little brain didn't pick up. On the flipside of your point, newcomers are trying to establish their name, brand, or reputation if you will? So the old fart with a good rep can charge a premium, while the newbies have to earn their rep first. Good stuff.

Any other points?.... keep em comin!

... that's the way I see it anyway.
