Why do you think they did not mean it to work the way they set it up. Maybe they thought that if somebody is really willing to pay $3000.00 like they do on ebay why not them take the money. Who knows where the price will really end up at. They could raise it to $4000.00 and as long as there is a very limited production rate some fool will pay it.
If money was no object and I was taking a 3 month business trips to Brazil with no possibility of getting an Axe-fx 2 in that time frame... then I would have done just the same... the problem is not someone being a "fool" for buying it at that price... the problem is that most folks don't have the "cashflow" to be able to do what our Brazilian-bound Axe forumite is able to do... and that's spend ca$h like it's going out of style! Biznitche$ be hatin' cuz they ain't got no ca$hflow yo...
Like I've said before... none of this will matter in a year (I would say 6 months but you never know... 1-2 weeks turned into 2 months... and counting...)
Congrats to both FAS (for finding a way to charge more for a product they said would retail for $2199, 3+ months of not selling any product has got to be hard on any "small" company... not counting the week and a half the Axe2 lotto system was in place) and toasterdude for actually being able to get one before he will be off the grid...
P.S. toasterdude... do you only sell toasters to Brazilians or do you sell them to US folks too? Also, are you guys hiring?
