I think there are secret grades of retail products and stores get these differently graded products based on the "tier" of store they are. So Dollar General candy maybe didn't pass QA to be sold at, say, Harris Teeter. I'm not talking about selling a package with less candy in it. I mean, for example, that the candy at the Dollar General may inexplicably have a higher percentage of adulterants or slightly off on flavor so it gets assigned C grade so it goes into packages of candy sold at C grade markets.
It's probably not a conspiracy so much as I don't know what industry jargon to search for to find out more information.
It's mainly the colors, but it came with some extras as well. And a paperclip.
Like I said, about $300 overpriced even with the additional items and only hyped due to limited edition. How many times has Nintendo released a console in NES colors without making it limited? Just a ridiculous move by Sony.
I would have paid $700 for the Pro if it came with everything the 30th anniversary edition had, and maybe a little more if it also included the Portal.
Unfortunately, Sony can't stop tripping over their own incompetence and limited the units to 12,300 for a reason that can be simplified to be: "money." So it sold out in less than a minute to scalper's bots and can now be found on eBay for five times the price.
You basically paraphrased what I said. Maybe I'm not saying it in a way you parse as unsympathetic, but I'm definitely not defending Pillow Man. Most people seem to get that, or else I'd be absolutely demolished by negative votes.
To be fair, I see all kinds of $14.88 or $7.86 or other random prices at Walmart. Problem is, I know a person didn't necessarily set those prices because it's every product, seemingly at random.
One dude decides what His Pillow costs, and he had to have chosen $14.88 for a reason. Maybe not because he's a Nazi sympathizer, but maybe just to get in the headlines again. Either way, he knew the connection and what would happen, which is sell a bunch of pillows.
Lindsay Olives Ripe Pitted Snack 4 pack. They changed the packaging, which is fine, but the olives taste worse and have strange texture. I already tried Pearls and they didn't pass muster from the get-go.
