Huh? The whole point of paying twice as much is that you spend a fraction of the time defining product specs, and don't have to wait. If so many pass up a 50%

If so many pass up a 50% discount to get immediate satisfaction, they aren't likely to change their preference for waiting once the product they already didn't buy becomes dramatically more expensive.
- nl 14y agoThe whole point of paying twice as much is that you spend a fraction of the time defining product specs, and don't have to wait. Raising the price stops you competing in the whole "I need a new suit" market. Now you are in the custom luxury good market, and there the time to buy isn't an inconvenience, it is a feature. The whole pay-to-pick-my-Ferrari-up-in-Maranello takes a lot longer than the normal Ferrari ordering process (and is hugely inconvenient) and yet still is used by a reasonable number of orders. You don't buy a Ferrari for transport, nor do you buy a luxury suit to cover your nakedness. If people can sell $500,000 watches[1], then a $20,000 suit seems reasonable, especially when it comes with custom consultations etc..
