Strange that these reissue companies have to resort to playing all of these stupid games. I would have thought that they would have enough business without all of the gamesmanship! Whoever is in charge of their marketing divisions is either a true genius....or exactly the opposite.
If the ongoing carrot scenario is driving up demand and resulting in extra profit...I guess it is the former...if not ( which is what i would actually expect) it is the latter. Either way, the taste it leaves in the consumers mouth is not one that is pleasant...and it should result ultimately in losses. Unfortunately, there still seem to be many folks who will bow to whatever tactics the unscrupulous marketeers will lay on them...and still come back for more. Question is are there enough who will tell them to shove it?
