| Re: Price v. Value
I will give no argument as far as wanting high standards with regards to diecast models, but if Carousel models are not flying off the shelf, maybe they set their price bar just a little to high. Several comments I have read regarding availability are backed up by the on line shops, and the last time I checked sitting on the store room shelf is a bad thing. It also makes it a little tricky for companies to put out new products when their current inventory is still on the high side. Seems like all of the aircraft models are Limited additions, but after looking at several on line stores, I could find none that indicated they were in short supply. Just have to wonder if Carousel has really priced themselves out of the reach of many collectors. To be honest, one would think if the demand were really that high, these models would be getting kind of scarce, but this does not seem to be the case. They do put out a nice looking product, but if there products do not sell well, will they continue to put out new lines of aircraft? My concern is that their line of aircraft at one time may to the way GMP did. |
