I had to learn that when I bought my first ink jet printer. I knew exactly which model I wanted to buy, I just wanted it to become a bit cheaper. But instead of that it was discontinued, and a follow-up model was released at exactly the same price.
Another thing I observed is that at the end of a product's life the street price might even rise again. Kind of logical if you think about it because the cheapest dealers will get rid of their stock first, but surprising if you expect the price to gow down continually. So anybody who still wants a new Classic should probably not wait until the last minute. -- usch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
