So in the Blue Box drop for Thinksound IEM's, these were listed as $35 MSRP. Now they are $50? I generally love Massdrop but lately it feels like we are being jerked around on some of these drops by trying to give the illusion of greater savings. These IEM's are $35 all day long on Amazon with free shipping directly from First Harmonic. Please MD, just be honest in your descriptions.

DarrinWThese are still listed at an MSRP of $49.99 on First Harmonic's webpage, even if they are being sold for less (on sale according to FH). Probably hasn't been updated since the initial drop.
I agree with your points though. The "value" of an item (seems to be accurate on the Thinksound Blue Box drop) is what people want to know. If MSRP is just a number that gets outdated over time (4~5 months ago when this first dropped Amazon had them at $39.99, according to CCC), it would be nice for MD to be proactive using an up-to-date street price instead. As it stands, I don't even bother looking at the "savings" and tend to do my own research to see how good of a deal it actually is. Edit: but because I do, it doesn't bother me too much.
