However, it is sad that people tend to forget that this is an economy based on capitalism.

Sellers should not have to feel ashamed for price fluctuations on their product from one customer to the next. If those people wanted to pay less they could simply wait or shop around.

The value of anything is defined simply as what one is willing to pay for it. Bragging rights are a form of value. Those people were willing to pay what they paid because they wanted to enjoy the bragging rights of early ownership of a hot new product. The cost of those rights in this case was @ $200.

They got their extra value...why should they expect a refund because many others were patient knowing that this ridiculous price would come down and didn't feel the need to brag about waiting in long lines for an overpriced product?

I am going to wait until I can get one for less than $300. If they were to refund everyone $300 when the price goes down again I would be upset because I feel that the lower price is the value of my patience and practicality.

I remember in late eighties Atari 200
was reduced to 50 bucks. I didn't expect a refund for price
differnce to what I had paid. I have a Razr I got it after it had
been out for a while but price is even lower today for me to look for
compensation for my previous purchase is crazy.

Bottom line is I didn't run out & buy an iPhone when they came out, because I knew the price would drop. Common sense tells you that...beyond common sense PAST EXPERIENCE tells you that (unless you've NEVER bought ANYTHING in your life, which I doubt). Personally I'm going to wait until AT&T/Cingular offers them as an upgrade option instead of even paying the full $399 they're priced at now. See how that works? That's using your noodle...]]>Sep 7th 2007 4:40PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/apple-offers-100-to-slighted-iphoners/http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/apple-offers-100-to-slighted-iphoners/
True, I'd suck it but also true that it would taint my relationship with apple products. The $100 rebate is excellent. Keep in mind we are not getting money but rather ability to buy something else from apple. Too bad last week I spent $70 in the apple store expanding my service plan on the iphone to two years....I only hope that I can buy itune gift cards from the store to use in itunes or I really have no use at this time for the $100 rebate. I'll use it to pay the full song price to get a 30 second clip of ringtunes....
