Re: KX3 Deposits etc. UpCharge?

[Bill K9YEQ]

Could we order more than one and sell for an upcharge?  Like some car models
in high demand.

I was thinking of asking about making a deposit on one just yesterday.  I
whole heartedly agree with this plan!

Bill, given this group, you could get a place on the list and then sell
*the place*.  If serial numbers were absolutely sequential, an earlier
slot on the list should be worth more than a later slot.  It sort of
resembles commodity futures?

OK, never let a retired engineer dabble in economics.

Well, not commodity futures. That's a different topic. However, selling
one's place in line in a purchaser queue happens in lots of economic
situations, including high-stakes games like wireless spectrum allocation.
Here's a link to a paper from an economics journal on ticket scalping, which
is similar:
