DD BTA $329+ Why?

[RMS18]

Maybe I'm missing something, but when did a 2 1/2 rbta hit $329? I bought a rbta for under $80 from DD last fall.

Because somebody will be willing to pay that price. If not they will mark it down

they also put copperbands from 35$ yesterday to 100$ today Lol they delusional

 

[RMS18]

I wonder if they are increasing prices due to covid-19? Once and a while they take a shot but this seems extreme.

Normally I'd say yes but their mark downs are never even half of their starting price. So even if they cut in half, in what world is a rbta worth $150+ for less than 3 inches?

I guess so. I haven't searched for a rbta since the fall. Guess the demand had to increase for this pricing.

It’s probably because nems are the “in” thing right now. This hobby works in 3 month cycles. Acros -> Zoas -> Shroom -> Torches -> Nems. Next will be acros again. You should see how cheap zoas are right now....

Ahh that explains it! I know there was a cycle, didn't know nems was the in thing at the moment. Im doing sps only right now. According to your time line I better buy up more acros now before having to wait it out during inflation!! Lol

AquaSD always has better and cheap nems. Seems LA/DD are having money issues with all the price increases and stricter guarantee/return policies lately.

I get concerned for people new to the hobby that don't understand how names are used to market. Same goes with edited images.

The whole country just got $1200 or more, sounds like they want your stimulus money.

It seems all there pricing went up. I'm on there daily and since everyone is on lockdown the prices have been higher I was thinking because everyone is home and shopping online so there getting more sales now and banking off us. Think about it when we are work we are not shopping all day out of boredom so prices are lower because they are not selling as much
