Add 1k and 5 years to that for mine

Once the $ is spent I don’t reminisce on price

daOnlyBG · 20 July 2020, 02:46 AM

OP, only you can determine what's a fair price to pay.

Grey market dealers are willing to pay a fat premium over MSRP for the Pepsi, because their customers are willing to give them a profit on top of that. This alone should tell you that MSRP is not a fair market value, but rather really discounted.

Some of us had to build relationships, some of us got lucky, some of us paid a little over MSRP, some of us paid a lot higher. That said, very, very few of us actually dwell on the price that we paid. And for what it's worth, look at the history of TRF users who keep speculating that the so-called "bubble" will "pop." You'll find threads that date back years and years. Well, nothing has changed.

Be patience and pay msrp

Waddy1 · 20 July 2020, 03:04 AM

Picked mine up 2 days ago from the AD, retail. Love it.

Speedbird-1 · 20 July 2020, 04:26 AM

1675, not from TRF, and in 1974 but, MRSP of £224.00. Happy days.
In 40 years time, sixteen grand might sound like a bargain.
