Before the "floods" you could get a WD Blue 1TB for $30 sometimes after rebate. Now they are $50 Something about supply/demand doesn't make sense here.

- simoncion 10y agoUh, the floods were real, killed real people, and damaged real property. No need for the scare quotes. > Something about supply/demand doesn't make sense here. Yep. It feels like there's a price-fixing investigation that runs periodically in each PC component market that finds solid evidence of price fixing and then forces the prices down.
- ck2 10y agoSorry, the quotes were a bad use of markup, I didn't mean to sound like the floods weren't significant. I was trying to landmark that specific event as a measure of before and after.
- simoncion 10y agoWhy did you choose to use double-quotes for emphasis rather than italics or underlining? I'm not calling you out; the practice has mystified me for ages and I see an opportunity to gain some information.
