GM has a monopoly on Cadillac Escalades, too, but it cannot demand any
price it wants for it because the market is FLOODED with Escalades selling
far below its dream price.

So, as with every other new product, we create a shortage to maintain
retail pricing until, at least, the richest and most drooling customers
have paid full retail for it...and its sales go into the post-fascination
slump every product, including this one, goes through. Then, prices will
drop until sales pick up to a target level, again. Remember those big-
screen $10,000 (various technology) TV sets Circuit City now sells for
$1595? Same idea....
