Mark, the market sets the price nothing else. For example, I can put my Denco H1 up for sale for $10k and what happens? As we recently saw... nothing. If some part sells for $1400 that means that's what the market will bear. CB is NEVER going to collect more than market value on any of his parts. Trying to blame an individual for price setting or driving prices up is literally comical. Even a WALMART size store does not have significant impact on the Supply Demand Curve.
Adam Smith, one of the Founding Fathers of economics famously wrote of the “invisible hand of the price mechanism”. He described how the invisible or hidden hand of the market operated in a competitive market through the pursuit of self-interest to allocate resources in society’s best interest. This remains the central view of all free-market economists, i.e. those who believe in the virtues of a free-market economy with minimal government intervention.
The price mechanism is a term used to describe the means by which the many millions of decisions taken each day by consumers and businesses interact to determine the allocation of scarce resources between competing uses. This is the essence of economics!An individual can only play a tiny part. It takes the whole market moving together to set the Supply and Demand Curve. So "busting cycles" and selling the parts does not change the value of the parts in the market. All sellers of this type are merely riding the wave of demand for the parts as they become rarer- they are not making then rare.... YOU, me and everyone else that loves triples is what is driving the prices up.
