OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here??

I'm not saying it's high or low, though I've read here that they're over-priced.  I'm talking about the number of the price itself.  Examples:

speakers:  $1008.00

pre-amp:  $504.00

pre-pro:  $1310.00

speakers:  $6644.00

speakers:  $2846.00

music server:  $351.00 ( this has to be my favorite)  What's with the $1.00?

turntable:  $2017.00  (17 bucks, really?)

DAC:  $382.00

monoblocks:  $5219.00

You get the idea...It's just weird man.

I fail to see the issue or strangeness, maybe it's me....I'd be more concerned about the quality of the item, how many miles on it, how many owners, the condition. Who cares if it's a buck over a 100 or 500 or whatever.

They seem to have their business processes down pretty well.  I’d wager they have an automated algorithm that automatically  determines the right price for them to sell at.

There's a lot of economic psych work done on pricing schemes.  If I were smarter I could elaborate, but alas...

I think TMR starts at a 'normal' price (say $999) and then discounts it a certain percent as time goes on. That is how you get the odd pricing.
