I've always found this way of thinking as...short sighted. If you could sell 200 units @ $200/each you would have MORE "incentive" than if you sold 7 (the # of "I would buys in the poll above at the time of this post". Which would provide more incentive to a manufacturer?
I am also a member of a motorcycle forum where a LOT of vendors are. One vendor has offered a "keyless start" modification for non-Harley bikes for about 2 years now and up until ast week he was asking $489/unit. I honestly don't think he has sold more than ten in that time. We started a "group buy" for them and he agreed to drop the price based on the number of interested buyers. He got 30 buyers @ $249/unit. Seems like he figured it out & if he can do it, then other developers could do the same thing, right?
And just in the event that you might want to verify my reference, here it is...
