And TBF vendors would probably drop these prices even lower but Samsumg most likely still has MAP restrictions on them.
Or is the market being flooded a long-term new reality that will cause prices to eventually go down further and further over time?
I heard a lot of reasons, but without any way to prove any of that -- it was speculation to cover up the real reason: greed. Users cut back, and now with the markets tumbling again, they're cutting back further.
Everyone I know (and I do mean everyone) is delaying all but the most essential purchases for the next 12-48 months. They "stocked up" on any burning needs/wants during Nov. 2024 -- and now everyone is sheltering-in-place with their wallet in full lockdown. They are even hoarding their old gear -- for utility (spares) and if any random supply chain issues spike the value, like webcams and fitness gear in April of 2020.
The mindset here is very much akin to Covid -- anything can happen, and it's going to be brutal to one's wallet. So the mindset is stock up, hunker down, and maybe we'll get through it. It's deeply depressing.
