Motiv online pricing outrageous
« on: March 16, 2022, 12:50:56 PM »
Just looking and saw the 2 new releases, Trident is $199.95 and the Mythic Jackal is $215. Is this where pricing is going online? When all said and done, these will cost just as much as the Quantum's back in the 90's were.

The other companies will follow suit eventually. The cost of materials are skyrocketing along with fuel prices, etc..

Everything is more expensive these days.  Companies are either raising prices, or reducing quantity/sizes to maintain prices.  I bought a couple of frozen meals at the market the other day, and the price had gone up 30% from what I paid just a few weeks ago.  Instant oatmeal was up 25%.  Even generic store brands were up about 20%.  Shelves are also starting to get noticeably bare again.

That's what happens when the gov't fixes problems by "printing" as much money as it wants and handing it out.

Mostly to corporations as a wealth transfer to the top of the top 1%.

At least now so much is digital, we will probably be spared pictures of children playing with wheel barrows of cash.

Yes, I'd say 'hold on' because I think everybody will be raising their prices also.  Upper end bowling balls will be expensive IMO.

It's wild, I remember in 2001, this Forum was gun-ho for Lane 1 at $299 retail, ($479 adjusted for 20 year inflation 2001-2022 https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ )
