Re: Who Needs TAS When We Have Samson Cables? Message #5 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 28 Sept 2011, 8:45 a.m., in response to message #4 by Cristian Arezzini
No, this isn't capitalism, which requires competition to set prices. SC has cornered the international market as the only "dealer" that can/will ship outside the USA. They are the only dealer that has charged over MSRP. Even Buy.com sold all their initial stock below MSRP, both through their website and on TAS. HP SMB initially charged above current MSRP, but agreed to credit customers who overpaid. IOW, everyone except SC has shown good business ethics. But, there's and old expression, "what goes around comes around," so short term profits may be offset by long term ill will.
