if you worked at good guy or some place where you see what cost is on a product you would claim everything is a rip off. For example all of you who have purchaced aftermarket speaker try cutting that price in half, then in half again thats the real cost for example. A JL audio 10in w7 sub retails at $499 but the real cost of it is $183, and someone at that price is still making a buck. People just precive the rip off becuase they all know what he paid for those. But i do agree that what hes doing shouldnt be done, hes treating the great machine like gasoline, when theres a shortage the prices go to stupid amounts frmo what they once were, i remember when gas in Cali was under $.99 i dont think thats something ill ever see again.
