I do not think that is the problem, if it went on sale I would not have worried about it, but I think Rebel would have done most of their selling in the first two or three weeks, most people would have bought it once it came out, and so to would all the stores have put in their orders. Then for Rebel to cut their prices after high selling the market in the first two weeks for all they could get, then when sales go down they drop there prices. I just wonder if this was more of a plan rather than adapting to the market all of a sudden. I mean lets face it it was only two weeks later, And I an offended at the way they have done this. It is unfair and unwise, I will think twice about runnig out and buying something made from them. Better to sit back and wait, and see if they drop prices. Hopefully everyone else will do the same and when they see that no one is buying their product they might drop it then to a price that is really cheap, knowing them now that might be only after the first week this time. The people who bought it right away I would say are the more influential people on the chess circles, and to get them off side is the wrong things to do. I hope some recourse against the makers of Rebel happen just to show that although cheaper prices are great, there is a timing and a way for them to do it, and I know the way they did this was wrong.
