Why shouldn’t he get some of that premium? Did the flipper add any value? Nope. They’re just exploiting a combination of the actual market being willing to pay more and impatience with long wait times. Maybe James should do a regular auction, maybe every 5th or 10th razor off the line and keep it up until auction prices fall to retail levels. If they ever do.
Good point. Without this free market that allows such, we wouldn't also have other great low cost options like the Lupo, the Gamechanger, and the Winning razor.
Just to follow that idea further... he could even drop retail and go auction-only. That might make them even more expensive in resell, though. Still, he has a tested and true product. At this point, it would absolutely sustain (for a while, at least).
He'd have to do some research, as he'd loose X% of his customers, but gain Y% more profits. If he could see that working better, though... Who knows how well he could do.
His normal razors are too rich for my taste, so I'm out anyway. But on a general, philosophical business discussion, it's absolutely fun to partake.
Nonetheless, I absolutely wish him well.
