Lightake - Always Best Cubes with Best Price, Try now!

Stefan said:
Yeah, like I said - spoiled. Prices like $14 are perfectly alright and we used to have them for years without anybody complaining.

Makes me wonder how long it'll take until people demand that cubes should be free :confused:

$14 is 2-4 work day's pay to a lot people over here.

I can understand that retailers want increase to income knowing that there are people capable of paying fixed prices, but for many cubers in the developing world LT is one of the few viable options to build a collection (perhaps not of the best quality but cheap) without having to make sacrifices. I'm not saying that retailers should open charities for poor kids around the world, but surely they can still make a profit without having to fix prices.

Let LT set the prices for their products as they please: if the service is not worth the savings, if consumers can afford more reliable stores or (better yet) if other stores develop a strong consumer base, then the market will determine who wins. Just don't force prices on us to protect the middle man.
 
This not about cost. It's about price fixing. If you can't make a living selling cube then perhaps selling cubes is not a good line to be in. Do something more profitable instead. I don't give a sh*t about people not being able to feed their families from selling cubes. If you choose capitalist ideals then you choose the good with the bad.
Many many people in the west have had to change their line of work because China stole their jobs!
 
Hey Calvin!

H.

We do? I don't. Please show me.

Here
Magic-Puzzle-Cube has them for $10 as well.

You're spoiled by the low prices that some sellers can afford. That does NOT mean that sellers who can't afford it are ridiculous unfair evil bastards.

Maybe because other stores don't have the resources for that, or need to earn more money? Does the speedcubingstore.com owner pay his rent and food and that of his children with his profits? Do you? Come back and share your opinion when you do.

Exactly what I said. Other stores can still compete on a different basis. The price may not be as low, but they can still attract customers with better shipping time and customer service.
 
What is my tracking number of order: Q64147541.
This order is a new order from a old order, because the white sticker set was sold out.

EDIT: It is collecting products now, can you push my order?

Agreed.

Yo LT, I can't find the Gear Cube KO that you guys had. I want to buy a few of those. They were called Challenge Wheel Cubes or something and sold at $8 - $9
