HD prices update
Newegg went from $129 limit 1 to $149 limit 3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148374 for 500gb 2.5" drive that was $49 limit 5 with coupon code before the Thai floods were noticed a few weeks ago. I'm not sure what the price and limit increase means, perhaps that they've found a somewhat reliable wholesale source at a higher price. How long until China cranks up, is the question. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Time to write tighter code like in the old days instead of bloated programming today ????? I know... wishful thinking. |

Newegg drops the price to $140 limit 10
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148374 Apparently letting prices respond to supply and demand brings out supply very fast; yet through all the shortage you could buy all the hard drives you wanted, you just wanted fewer. Compare price control and lines. Interesting podcast on price gouging http://www.econtalk.org/archives/200...n_price_1.html There can't be a shortage of anything that has a market set price. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

I'd guess early hoarders are beginning to see the price break and are unloading them, which is how the market discovers how badly how many people want them and who to sell them to. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

I doubt there are any hoarders who bought at a high price, just people who happened to have a good stock and are trying to guess when to sell. Guessing wrong happens most of the time, guessing right rarely. The service they provide in their greed is allocating the available supply to people who have the greatest current need of HDs. No lines! You can get all the HDs you want, if you want them at the price. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |
