Ehh not falling for anymore trolling here. So Ill just respond to the above. You did not buy lower, you instead set the price higher.

You try for a squeaky clean image, but its not. You increased the going rate for dye from ~400k to 500k. I know you are not responding to this because its true

Everlynn got rich by doing idocs and breaking people's trust (see Bigoud).

You got rich by exploiting CUB (heating stands from memory? Causing Derrick some headache) and buying gold for $.

Your exploits are what are getting you rich, not your supply and demand.

Felix your an idiot.
A d-bag to boot,

Demand determines prices PERIOD!

I have an MBA from Babson so get phucked.

Why do a 24 hour auction lol? not everyone checks forums that often and i would of paid atleast 800k.. ohwell, nice deal you got there ^

so kiddies, next time you want to do some real business you know what guild to contact.

I do not mean to be contraversial, but there are many more factors that affect price. Demand is not the only driving factor. If that was the case, the iphone 4 would have a much higher price without any subsidizing.

I have an MBA as well and honestly, what you learn in grad school can be found by using google, so I don't feel having an MBA makes me or you an expert in this subject.

...

You're comparing demand of a hair dye to that of an Iphone 4?

ROFL.

I think you are missing the point? I am stating a real life example just to show that demand is not the only driving factor when it comes to price.

Why did you type ROFL also? Where you really rolling on the floor laughing? Seriously?

IPhones are a produced item.

Hair Dyes are not.

There's a total difference.

Also beware this Menti kid...

He brings his little cohort of friends and demands you prove the dyes are blessed.

To be honest I have no idea if my dyes are blessed or not I've never proven it to myself, I've always just assumed it...considering they're from CUB.

Haters in disguise? Using any chance they can to say "fuck you" to me? Probably...Just beware...

Demand is the only thing that affects price PERIOD, thats not to say things like supply do not impact demand.

or that cost doesnt play a role, however cost and margins are an insignificant contributor.

"what you learn in grad school can be found by using google"

I take it you didnt get your MBA from a top tier school.

You state:

Now lets have a nice debate shall we?

NYU is a decent school, not sure if its top tier, but it clearly out ranks your school.

Anyway to cite a few examples - items that will affect price are:

1. Cost of inputs
2. elasticity of the item
3. scarcity
4. close substitutes

I'm pretty sure those effect price as well no? - I did not insult you in my post, not sure why you have to try and take a jab at where I got my MBA. The truth of the matter is most of the articles, books and reports you read in grad school or are taught can be found online. I don't know how you can deny this. In the end, the MBA is a piece of paper - that is all.

Simply googling economics can bring back more information than you could ever learn in any grad school. I can see you are proud of your MBA and you should be, but its not the holy grail and most of what you learned is a single mouse click away.

Take a look at the average GPA and GMAT score needed of the undergrad applying. I guess your school is not so high tier after all?

DOUBLE YOUR FLAVOR DOUBLE YOUR FUN DOUBLE POSTING FTW.

Why do ANY of you need a college degree from a top tier school to understand the demand/supply of Neon Hair dye?

It's not that hard guys....

I GOT DA BOMBS,, ER I GOTZ DA DYEZ

YOU PAYZ WHAT I WANTS OR YOU GE THE FUCKZ OUTS.

OLOGOPOLY FTW.

NURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

The only other option in the case of Neon Dyes is to go through our wonderful silver system.

Have fun paying 2 million + per dye.

There was a reason the iPhone 4 was so inexpensive At&T, and it wasn't a demand issue. It was a strategic tactic used by At&T to try and lock consumers in with contracts through them before the iPhone was released through verizon (which will happen, although was anticipated to already have happened).

So much for that mba...

I live around the corner from the school, i'm confident in saying it's over rated. Extremely snoody, think their shit don't stink spoiled nobodies end up with degrees from there... not to mention my manager has a Babson degree, and she is half-retarded.

That would be true on ATT's side to the consumer, but I am talking in regards to ATT buying the device from Apple to then re-sell with a contract. If the device was so popular why didn't Apple charge ATT $1000 per phone? This clearly shows demand is not the only driving factor behind price.

Once again, thank you for taking a shot at me at the end of your argument. As I said before an MBA is a piece of paper, I feel the knowledge taught helps, but I don't think it makes anyone an expert in the field of business.

Freeza wrote:why didn't Apple charge ATT $1000 per phone?

Because they wouldn't have sold as many to consumers at that outrageous price, what they sold at was the price they would make the most profit/marketshare.

Thus proving my point that even with highly insane demand, there are other factors that go into price. That is all I am saying.
