Premium and OhioLawyer,

I respect your opinions on the board but I am surprised both of you are that comfortable with the manufacturer changing prices quickly and substantially based on demand especially to the general public. Ignore the wholesale business.

It obviously makes business sense as others are doing it, but there was a rule of decorum traditionally that manufacturers do not change pricing based on demand. It’s a bad precedent and a bad look for the company.

What’s next? Fanatics / Topps only releases half the inventory in the release year and holds the rest as an investment til 5 years later?

Couldn’t Nike do that for shoes, any collectible company do that for toys, comics, etc?
