Yes that is exacly what I said.. how does that NOT make sense to you..
- Xbox 360 came out yesterday
- The box is still unopened
- I was able to get there early and buy one
- Everyone wants one
- I was lucky enough to end up with two (with my girlfriend at another store across town trying to grab one too)
- I can bring it back any day to Bestbuy and get my money back.
- I could "possibly" make someone happy here that was at the doctors yesterday and could not go to walmart and get one like i did but they would still like to have one.. even if its means paying more than retail.
- If I bring it back to Bestbuy, will that someone come down to Gatineau, QC walmart to go get it? No. or maybe, if it means that much to them and they're not too far and THEY think (with they're own minds and brains, that its worth it)

Where exacly is the problem? What i've been trying to say as Flo said, is if someone really wants it, and is willing to pay that much.. then where is the problem?

Quote:Also, if Ford sells a car that everyone wants for $20,000 and sells the car well after other cars are available at similar prices... what's that called? We'll call that the "Turbo Tom Value" effect, just so you can relate. It's also why a Sony Trinitron TV is bought over another TV. Value, real or perceived by the buyer, can be quite influential in the actual purchase of an item. Go ahead and refute that

NOS2Go4Me: YOU are an idiot.. you just proved me right. That's just how I'm doing it now. That sony trinitron tv is pretty good yes.. but I used to work in retail.. and the sony models are NOT always the best ones. Society MADE sony "the best one".. my tv a panasonic, compared to a sony.. was 500$ LESS.. for the same thing basicly...with both tvs side by side in the store, and even the manager of the store telling me, sony is not the best one.. it is NOT the best. It IS a good tv, but it is not necessarly worth 500$ more.. or wait, someone else bought a sony.. and THEY thought that the sony was better and worth 500$ more. Its people that "elect" objects and products to be important or better and in demand. Did I decide to make the xbox 360 in demand? No.. thats microsoft's job.. they succeded pretty well wouldn't you say?im just the retailer selling the more expensive sony rather then the panasonic because people dont mind paying the extra 500$ for the sony. I don't see you complaining to Futureshop about their trinitron.

anyway you just dont get it..
