What happened?!

[SEEGERMANY]

he's all about giving other guitarists a good deal. Particularly when the guitars he is selling didn't cost him a cent.

He made stupid money off his Jackson auction and I almost dropped a coin or two. There was this one idiot that bought a white prototype V and payed mega coinage for it. Last picture I saw, he had put it in a glass case for "show and tell."

[Deadlock]

I wish people would drop this already. How many years has it been?? Dave threw his tantrum and seems to be over it, I wish the rest of his fans would too.

Ok, ok... Maybe not mustaine, but someone... anyone... that wouldn't raise prices by $300. I'd be happier if ESP bought Jackson, not that it would happen.

I think you need to step away from the computer for a while and think about what you just wrote.

As far as the price increase, it's hard to know what's behind it. FMIC or JCMI will never say what it is.

Businesses raise prices. Deal with it.

The model for EVERY business is to charge what the market will bear. i.e. if you make 1000 guitars a year and charge $1000 for each and they all sell, then next year (since you can't make more guitars) you charge $1100. And if all of them still sell, then the year after that you charge $1200 and so on until the market can no longer bear a price increase.

Nobody is in business to give you more than you pay for.

You want to lower prices? Decrease demand.

They can only steal from you if you buy from them. As Turk said..if you want lower prices lower demand.
