Now, please forgive me if my understanding of supply and demand is incorrect. I didn't major in economics, microeconomics, or business. I majored in youth ministry, and yes that is a real degree. Before you joke on my degree answer this question...are you doing the job your degree prepared you for? A lot of people aren't, but I am. If you are then feel free to joke.
Supply and Demand drives me crazy! Have you ever wanted something (demand), but what you were looking for wasn't available (supply). Nintendo is a genius company and I am convinced they release only a limited amount of their products (supply) because it causes people to want what they offer even more (demand). This week I went on a search for the Nintendo Wii game MarioKart (demand). I dragged my poor wife to Best Buy, Target, Toys R Us, Circuit City, and Wal-Mart (no supply). Not one place had it (creating a bigger demand!). I then called multiple game stores and they all said they were sold out until mid July (what the poo...stupid supply. I hate you!).
I did a wedding over the weekend and I would like to spend some of the money on this game. I would be fine with waiting to get it, but because I can't have it I want it even more (supply and demand at it's best). Isn't it funny how that works? Have you ever experienced this? What do you want right now but can't have? Leave a comment.
PS...I finally found it at Game Crazy (supply), which is connected to Hollywood video. They had one copy and I bought it.
I nearly minored in Youth Ministry, I just didn't see the point in taking the extra 2 credits. Your supply and demand is accurate and I completely agree Nintendo is doing a masterful job of keeping demand up for their Wii system and games. We're watching a movie tonight should you want to join us in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading, I was suggesting to you that you should go to game crazy. You must have read my mind-only earlier.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and I have all, or most, or a page of the previous blogs, so now I am caught up. sort of
Oops, it should say that I have read the previous blogs. tsk tsk

ReplyDeleteITs way cheaper and there are plenty available...
Well, that is a fun game! When can we come over and play? And I want.... my CD player in my van to work, for some reason it will not play when there are pennies and quarters jammed in it! Thanks Addy Lin, haha! But unfortunately I will have to wait until Christmas, boo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI live in Hawai'i supply and demand is alive and well here. Since all of our 'supplies' come on a boat/ship there is never enough to go around. Sometimes its the simple things such as good, fresh vegetables. So its hard for me to sympathize with you, but I'll try.
ReplyDeleteRosa...thanks for trying. As you try to sympathize with my supply and demand I will try to sympathize with you living in paradise. How are things in Hawaii? Tell the boys I said hello.
