Its similar to the reason why a new IPhone can go for 1000 bucks on ebay. People with money HAVE to be the first to get it.. Only 2000 are being made worldwide, so the manufacturer knows he can jack up the price for maximal profit, sell out and leave the market. Clones will take over.
not for me
i'm not that type of person.
i'm treating myself here. it had the feature set and quality i was looking for. plus there's a rumor there may be a bottom fed option or pin in the future.
i'm just getting it while i can before i'm stuck with a second rate, shoddy, mass produced clone.
don't get me wrong, i'm not against clones. but for once, i want the best, the original, of the item that i wanted before i knew it existed.
i don't buy into the hype usually. this time i'm treating myself. for example, i won't buy an apple product for myself or my wife and kids.
the mod i want to pair it up with (in the event i can't get a bottom feeding option first) certainly isn't "fancy" it's a work horse with nearly no inherent voltage drop and minimum moving parts.
matter of fact, i don't "have" money. i had money tied up, so the zenith cost me less than some youde products.
