Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette
That's not difficult to understand. pf retails for <$400 and ss makes at least 50% gross margin on those. The cost to make this pred is same as any other pf. It's inhouse built unlike the Winston version.
There is a perceived price premium on 1/4 predator statues by the market and ss knows it and took full advantage of it in the pricing. Nothing wrong with that they are a business with the sole reason of existence is to make money.
You as a consumer have to decide if the value is worth it or not. Just like when going to Tiffany's and pay a few hundred for a silver ring vs few thousand for a platinum ring... Even though the underlying commodity makes little difference in the ring, the market puts a much higher premium on one vs the other. (And trying to explain that to the women will get you nowhere)
They're obviously making money but $1050 per item...
