    This seems like a pretty good option. Time to read some reviews!

    Bruh I wasn't thinking the same thing. If we get everyone on the forum to put it in there cart and to search it every day it'll probably drop the price by a lot like they did these

    About 20%


    I've got friends who work at Amazon HQ and they spend a TON of time checking and monitoring the pricing for their specific skus. I wouldn't be surprised if this thread had a direct impact on the price of the items.

    The key is that is has to be a Prime item, as Amazon controls pricing on those skus.

    Until the plan backfires and the company sees the demand/supply and jacks up the price. Because *some* Tacoma owners are ignant with their money and like to watch it burn, thus ruining any good deal for us normal folk who still have a high truck payment and are lucky to make paycheck to paycheck.

    -reason why a $400 bumper costs $1k+ and you DON'T get free shipping. 'If people are stupid enough to continue paying our asking price, we won't change it'

    I mean, it's just a true example of a supply/demand curve and how it relates to economics.

    That's correct, but you have a price that you would pay. Every persons breaking point is different, it's just Amazon's job to find what that point is without losing too much margin.

    Also - there are a ton of Tacoma people who aren't on here and wouldn't know about this deal :)

    Yeah but Amazon screws a lot of smaller companies big time because of the free shipping.

    Well think this group buy most likely had a HUGE impact on that price drop. Haha

    I get how it works, doesn't mean I have to like it though. It's a hot topic for me when it comes to steel products and our trucks since I work for a manufacturer/fab shop and I know how little things cost.

    I just wanna see these boards, or the others, get to a good price for what they are (plastic/poly). Then I'll pull the trigger
