Excellent Job Gentlemen! Way to push getting a discount going. IMHO I believe SS was listening reading these last few pages. Clearly you can see consumer sentiment was great but price with shipping was killing this deal. I’m proud of this forum today. After the years of talking about price and elasticity and the back and forth of consumers make the price etc.
Kudos to sideshow too! TRICKY TO GET A DEAL DONE, BUT I Respect that
Shipping indeed is making a good spread for SS, but with the discount, and the rewards I had plus the rewards you get back it made sense for me. I?m very close to them and shipping was still $400+ plus taxes $73.50. I checked shipping from prime 1 before completing my order and it would have been $300. So ss is already making $156 off shipping and putting it into their pocket or somewhere. Who knows.
All in all, truth is in 2023 it will be very tricky to move these statues around with increased shipping rates and the already pumped up market.
People are going to be strapped for cash.
Happy to see sideshow being smart and getting the jump on things to move their inventory out of warehouses and into customers hands.
At the end of the day people have cash. They just aren?t going to throw it around unless they feel they are getting deals.
Hoping to see maybe PCS Ronin and some others that have been over priced unnecessarily in the 25% list soon.
