black caviar?
why are harddisc prices rising? what has flood do about it?
is it because it was submerged in the flood, ( the WDs ) and its was cleaned and dried up and thus increase the cost of OE?
and seagate just follow suit in rising the prices?
Law of supply and demand is greediness.
its another word for hoarding
sa una i thought hangol ang shops if naay shortage then isaka nila ang presyo
but since nabasahan ni nako- it gets more clearer
HDD Prices are Increasing Rapidly; 50% in One Week
bitaw if naay shortage then imong ibaligya imong stocks ug barato- samot hurot dayon stocksAnonymous, 10/25/2011
People keep calling it price gouging to raise prices when supply dramatically shrinks, but the alternative is worse. It is an important balancing of market-prices. If you charge far less for a product of limited supply than people are willing to pay, you end up with a true shortage, where retail availability vanishes. I might be willing to buy a drive for $50 for an HD to expand my dvr, but unwilling to pay $100; someone else may be willing to pay $100 for a drive for a mission-critical machine. If supply is limited, and price restricted to $50, I may get it for my "less important" purpose while someone else cannot get it for a critical need.
Without raising prices, the only way to prevent a true shortage is to monitor the reasons a customer is purchasing a drive and deny those "less important" purchases (I don't think anyone wants to have a "Department of Purchase Reasoning" validating every transaction).
As for increasing the price of stock on-hand that should be "immune" to supply shocks from a future shortage: Prices work by expectation, sometimes over a long time. If I know I will need an HD sometime in the next month, and I see that prices will increase two weeks from now, I will buy now rather than later. Demand will increase immediately. Just as before, prices must increase to allow the market to prioritize purchases, because the stock on-hand is limited. Retailers may benefit temporarily from a sudden increase in the value of their inventory, but this is just a reality of the market.
tua na ang shortage
naa man gali koy nadungog- naay taga dire cebu murag daghan na siya ug hulog-hulog piso
naka-detect na siya ug mosaka ang prices in few weeks because magkashortage stocks due to sa baha
so gihimo nya namalit siya ug daghan as in ni-inquire siyag 50pcs. in one shops nga wala pa ka-detect nga nisaka ang price...
what if ana buhaton sa tanan in cheap price
then mamalit ug tag-duha or 3 ang mga end users
samot na nuon
just my 2cents
still, it does not qualify price increase, nor the THG article mention additional Operating expense for the finished hdd.
the flood does not at all entail increase in the production expenses of the already manufactured HDDs.
freight and handling can be a valid reason.
but freight and handling fees can be nullified specially if the HDDs are already delivered to stores.
maayo unta to if increase due to raising electronic subsystems costs or better yet
production cost due to reconditioning of flood affected manufacturing machine
but what's mentioned is just supply and demand
and that's just damn opportunistic notion.
o set..
i forgot this is buy and sell..
sorry TS.no harm intended.
sorry mods.
up for this afternoon
