All markets are limited in size. There are no unlimited markets, there are only larger and smaller markets. Buyers have more than enough manufacturers and replica styles / authenticity levels to choose from in our market. There is absolutely no reason that anyone should feel he is without alternatives.

The value of any item is always determined by what an arms length transaction between a buyer and seller each of whom is acting in their own best interests, free of undue pressure to trade determines that value to be. The free market system we enjoy (so far) punishes the greedy who attempt to gouge buyers and rewards the fair who price fairly.

While everyone is entitled to an opinion there is no evidence any pricing collusion to unfairly raise prices on these vehicles exists anywhere between any two entities. To suggest otherwise is just personal opinion and flies in the face of the facts. Entertaining conspiracy theory but just that conspiracy theory!

If you don't like the price of a new vehicle, that is your prerogative. If enough people feel the same as you do, the seller will ultimately have to adjust pricing if he wishes to continue to sell product at the levels he previously did. If the market sees the situation differently than you do the product continues to be sold, you just don't have any — assuming you stand on your principals.

To accuse businesses of collusive practices and activities without a scintilla of evidence, other than personal opinion, is juvenile and irresponsible — in the extreme!!
