Bronze Yoda and Dooku- WTF???????

Maybe your assumptions about what makes a business successful are off the mark? (I do realize who I am talking to though, so I could be wrong... I don't have a business degree)

Thats true...in business class I never heard of the theory "make less than what will sell" and "make it hard for your customers", then again, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft all do that with their video game systems...so what do I know.

Like I said, except with the PPO the WHAT is already know. Making 20% of your customers who may be interested in SW wait near the computer for a PPO is better than 80% of your entire customer base holding their breath on the newsletter.

well said and I completely agree. I am curious as to why anyone would have an issue with this?

Maybe people are dissenting to this concept of the PPO because they just want to defend SSC?

If SSC did the PPO for this and I said I'd rather have the order with the newsletter on Thurday, I think the same people would come back and tell me the system was perfect.

No. I am defending it because it reserves me the right to flip this sucker when I get it so I can jump back into the Dead line with both feet.

Honestly, I don't care how Sideshow sells stuff. If I miss something, there is always something else out there. The reason the PPO is worse in my opinion is because it gives flippers time to prepare. When you just throw it out there in the newsletter more "real" fans get one.

Out of curiousity what would be an expected rate of return on this? $200 +$20 shipping to sell it for what, $240?

Sounds about like the amount you're going to lose selling your Jabba on ebay...but hey not my business as much as I pretend it is.

That might be true, IDK. Good point.

Who knows what the return will be. If it looks like its gonna suck, I'll cancel. Then one of the whiners who were smart enough to get on the wait list can get it. No biggie.

sorry dude. must give you the tsk tsk.

someone who is having to sell part of their current collection should know better than taking actions that will raise the prices of items for fellow true collectors.

Sorry to be so frank, but I'd only say that to someone I liked.

Yeah. I guess I'm still one of those disillusioned idealists from Rebelscum and the old rec.arts.collectors boards.

 

[BadMoon]

Oh and because of that this thread has just now been BANISTERIZED!

No smiley spam. Say what you think.

Yes. We destroyed the old order long ago.
