How is it I buy these less than a month ago revived on 5/5 on this very site and now it's $5 cheaper.... I like them a lot but I mean it just sucks when you buy something then I goes on sale or get bundled with a free items. Always makes me pissed, I can see price increases but this just makes me sad you never know if you getting the good deal or the "meh it's ok" deal.

MIKSBro, that's 5 bucks.
The SMSL M8 is currently dropping for 180 (lowest) + shipping. Last few drops were 150 (lowest) + free shipping. That's a 30 dollar difference.

YakovIn his example the price is now $5 lower than before and In your example the price went up by $30. I agree $5 is a small amount but it's also 10% in this case. The point being its not about the money, it's about having previously paid more for the same thing. Most people come here with the expectation of getting the best deal possible (aside from exclusives and collaborations, the purpose of a group buying site). When something drops a month later for less $ its understandable to feel you didn't get the best deal. It's also understandable that Massdrop is doing the best on their end for every single drop, hence maybe a better price the next go around (although that raises the point that with no price guarantee, maybe I'll get a better deal if I wait until next time). Rising costs suck but are understandable. If the increase is too much to justify then don't join. Lower prices are little more difficult to understand since its not as simple as just not joining, it has already happened.

ehmoraYes, thanks ehmora, it's the fact that the price do drop so much that gets me. I bought my SMSL M8 for 180 on the first drop on this site, no reviews, no messages, just a hunch, do I get mad when it drops for 30 less in the next one sure. Those drops are months later not a drop back to back where they cut the price because they are only offering one style instead of a variety. You see it to often when people post that Amazon is offering it for less or Newegg, and you wonder am I getting the best price? Then the price gets dropped to match, not only massdrops fault there is two sides to that coin: did massdrop do the best to get the best deal , and did the company I give a better deal to another site and got caught and now is matching it. I like massdrop , I like the concept but if some people get good deals and others get a fair price then what's the point?
