I am all for making a profit - nothing at all wrong with free market economics - I am a capitalist. And I agree they were worth every penny of the $200 asking price. Someone at AC got a great deal.
Yeah - I missed out on the $99 X-Omni's and I'm a little peeved. I pride myself on finding killer deals. I would have bought 5 or 10 pairs at that price! I edited my earlier post half a dozen times and it still looks rather snippy. I truly didn't mean to attack anyone - my apologies, especially to vrao81. I did however find it interesting someone deleted cliffy's post.
I did not state in my ad for the plasma TV I am selling that Pioneer lists with a $9000 MSRP that I actually paid $4500, nor have I said I paid $950 for the $1800 receiver. If asked I would volunteer that information. I think vrao81 should have when asked why he was selling them so soon after buying them.
As for manufacturing and retail... My prices on my DKM Design AudioRaks racks are cost plus 50% - not the typical cost plus 100% other online retailers charge. If and when I actually begin selling any and my costs go down I'll pass that savings on to my customers.
As for calling informing buyers unethical - check out my recent posts in Industry Ads for more unethicality.
