We do have an advanced ordering system, where orders are placed months in advance and the domestic retailers gain a certain percent discount for doing so.It's called the 'Futures Program'. As far as the "retro craze", only the retail market will dictate its direction. Only time will tell.
Even better yet, just ban me. Your posts are sickening and a failing attempt to redeem yourself on this board. Listen to yourself: "Man upson....Stop talking to me like I'm 12"...??? You can't be serious about being an administrator can you??? Really a good show of maturity andprofessionalism on your part. Like I said before, it says a lot. Check your mail, I'll overnight the trophy if all this means that much to you. Of course, you'll have anotherretaliation immediately after this. Would anyone like to bet on it?
But on a more individual bases. I already no prices would prolly be through the roof but....some exceptions could be made.
I'm locking this now, and I'll be personally keeping my eye on you. If I see that you continue to belittle people by blaming them for things when you're not changing the disrespectful, dismissive trolling that you have donein this thread, you will be banned. I know that was a long sentence for you, but break it down in parts. Here, I'll do it for you: You blame people, but you don't think you do anything wrong. When people complain about the tone you have on this board, you blame other people some more. You're disrespectful. When people point out your disrespect, you blame other people. You do 1 good thing and 5 bad things, and you hide behind the 1 good things. When someone brings that up to you, you blame other people for different thing. If I see that continue, you will be banned. I don't appreciate disrespectful, dismissive, condescending trolls that think that they can get away with things because they have some little tidbit ofinfo. *locked*
Yeah, it would be very difficult to do that on an individual basis because of the amount of production and the time needed to fill certain orders. There wouldbe chaos in the factories, which would eventually spread through the entire ordering process. Unfortunately, costs would rise because the workload wouldincrease in order to meet the deadlines.
Not to rub salt in the wound, here, but I wanted to add a couple of points to this thread simply because I think none of us wish to see a repeat occurrence ofwhat's taken place here. First, we should ALL be aware of the fact that INTENT does not equal EFFECT. You may not INTEND to make a racist statement, for example. That doesn'tmean your comments can't be construed as offensive or serve to perpetuate racism - and even recent history offers us a litany of examples to this point. Now, if you happen to be in Don Imus' shoes you might say "I didn't MEAN it that way! You're all CRAZY! You hypocrites just want to findsomeone to vilify! Blah, blah, blah...." but how respectful is that? That you can't even acknowledge the very POSSIBILITY that your statements might be interpreted as condescending is, itself, condescending. It onlyAMPLIFIES the "I'm right, you're all wrong. I know everything, you know nothing." vibe that some people picked up on in this thread. If I'm standing on your foot, I can't tell you that you're WRONG for pointing that out because I don't feel any pain.
