Totally agree.
The last line of your post was spot on.
The alternative to consider, is that if someone else came in and we had four or five people directly importing, the price wars would start, the prices would come down (great) but after a year or two, the profit margins might be crappy and before too long the whole import of BNIB might stop cause of no profits.
Sometimes it's a fine line. Competition needed versus too much competition.
I have seen this off and on in my electronic security industry. It's runs in a cycle of too much competition, profits are crap, the right amount of competition and everyone makes great coin, no competition and importers slow the import of products, raise prices and the market slows again. Fine line sometimes.
Just glad at the moment we have AMD. It could be worse with no dealer/importer at all.
Maybe prices will come down if sales slow right down at such high prices. Maybe Stern will step in and subsidise and do the smarter thing..... ?
