Message: <blockquote data-quote="brakel" data-source="post: 45196" data-attributes="member: 416">There is no such thing as price gouging in an open market. The fact that Zen offers a competitive product with different price points and features is proof that there is no price gouging. Price gouging is what happens when demand for a product increases exponentially in a short time usually in a relatively small geographic area and the retailers of that product increase the price without an ensuing increase in cost. A classic example is the price of plywood and particle board going up in the days leading up to a predicted hurricane. It is also not a "cash grab". A cash grab is when a company or brand slaps their name on a shoddy product because they know that the name alone will sell. Big movie sequels are often a cash grab. Pretty much any sequel that doesn't have the original stars is a cash grab. The pro tables are the opposite of a cash grab. They are a product that many consumers were demanding and are a real set of options and NOT something that FarSight just slapped the TPA logo on and dressed it in a pretty little bow.In a free market the maker of an item decides what options will be standard and what options will be premium and what price points they will be sold at. The consumers then have the choice to buy or not.</blockquote>
