Yet, here, with a very useful device like a flashlight, there is obvious resistance to joining the drop. Only 7 have been purchased so far with 4 committed if the goal or 20 is met. With less than 2 days left this is in question. Why?
Because there is no consensus that a "deal" exists here. Especially for a site like Massdrop, the success of offers hinges on the perception that a "deal" exists with the 'group buying' concept. If very few perceive that a drop is a "deal" then there will be resistance and a lack of response.
In this case, the MSRP is $65 is unrealistic when sites like CountyComm are offering the same light for $48.50 and even have it on sale for $35 occasionally. With this kind of competition, even $42.99 is not perceived as a "deal" to jump at. There has to be a compelling reason to join and participate at sites like Massdrop. It should be the "deals". Unfortunately, this is not always the case. :-(
Am I being unreasonable here?
