So lightake's supplies of Dayan cubes has got more expensive becuase they can't get any more, or becuase they have been forced to make them more expensive?
Of course, this is not compulsory. You can either sign the agreement and get the cubes for sales, or you refuse the agreement and not to sell the our cubes.
Did you read my previous sentence ? Can the above sentence answer your question ?
None can force others to do anything. Only you make your agreement, you have to keep your words.
With the "LT points", "free registered for orders over USD 15" and coupons, he had doing many ways to break his words, under-cutting and hurting other Dayan sellers, also upseting Mr. Dayan.
Calvinfan, I'm not defending LT, but I think your arguments are a little bit personal against them. Did you read my previous post? I think this is simply a commercial issue because LT sells more than others, no way this is a matter of honour, respect, heart and blood, etc. Like I said before: if you sell to LT a cube for 10 dollars thats the value of the honor/work of Mr. Dayan. 15 dolars for a 333 cube is cheap cheap rubish? Did his honor get ripped off by 80 dollar cents disccount?
Thanks for your long sentence. What I say is that below,
Of course, this is not compulsory. You can either sign the agreement and get the cubes for sales, or you refuse the agreement and not to sell the our cubes.
Anything industries has their own rules and agreement. Only those keep his words is worth for our respect and showing respect to the agreement and also Mr. Dayan.
Will he raise the prices up to win "honor"? Please explain it because if not, this sentence has no sense. Dayan gains the "honor" and respetc of the cubing world because of the quality of their cubes and designs, not because it's a respectable or honorable worldwide brand or their cubes are the most expensive around. Nobody think that Dayan cubes are cheap cheap toys,even if your main cube is a non Dayan. If this is some marketing/bussiness strategy I think is way too much for the cubing world, go and sell cheap cheap rubish for stupid prices to some hipsters and snobs.
Again, the prices has been set by Mr. Dayan on the agreement at day 1 of releasing the cubes.
Again and Again, this is not compulsory. You can either sign the agreement and get the cubes for sales, or you refuse the agreement and not to sell the our cubes.
Hope can answer your questions. Thanks for your time.
I find it strange - if Mr. Dayan really wants to build up his brand, I thought the better way would be free market - sell at whatever prices he desires but allow the various competiting sale channels sell at whatever prices that would move his products quickly. He should really focus on his products instead of getting involved with the retailers.
Speed stack US has his pricing policy for their retailers as fairness and protection, so do Rubik's cubes and Meffert's puzzles. Mr. Dayan is just follow their successful pricing system.
If you have your own brand and products, you can try "free market". Hope you can succeed.
Ok, that's helpful to know, essential to understand the situation. At first I thought you made up rules for your group and then tried to force them on an independent outsider as well. If they had agreed to them and broke them, that's something else. The coupons do look a bit sneaky now, though whether they actually break the terms is of course still impossible for us to tell without knowing exactly what they were. Anyway, I just hope your new terms work out well, so everybody is happy.
Not only the coupons, with the "LT points" and "free registered for orders over USD 15" , he had doing many ways to break his words, under-cutting and hurting other Dayan sellers, also upseting and insulting Mr. Dayan.
