Well there has been something on my back lately and its been ticking me off more and more.
Why on earth do companies release a limited run of amazing products? Very often, some company will release the perfect product or an amazing product in titanium or some upgrade that makes it better. I get all excited and go to order and find out the the run was limited to 500 or 1000 or whatever and they are all sold out. This applies to knives and flashlights and everything in between. (im lookin at you Nike and Spyderco)
These products often have a lot of potential customers, like me, who want to give them money for what they offer but they decided to make it "limited".
So, is their a reason im missing why companies do this? please help me understand
