Interest thread about how and why a ton of “seasonal” items are going to get hella cheap right away, and how price slashing is coming across the board.

What happens if this happens to automobiles?
- Pre-orders for the 2023 Corvette are told delivery is 3-5 years out.imbecile
- That’s a rare model and an outlier. Also they are setting expectations based on today’s availability of chipsnb
- There are rumors of lots full of basic Family SUV crossovers just waiting for a few microchips to be installed. But maybe demand is too high.nb
- No one can accurately predict exactly how quickly the chips will become availablenb
- Cars are so back ordered it's going to take ages to catch up. I was told 6months to a year, if I want electric more like 2 years.formed
- That's demand, not just supply chain. I want a very unique car and I am still on the bottom of the list (can't even 'order' it until I move to the next list)formed
- not an outlier. an example of what is happening. parts shortages are changing configurations and delivery dates. the desire for a new car has not gone down.imbecile
- and being directly in the industry, they are not rumors. some manufacturers can't get windshields made for pre-ordered cars.imbecile
- comparing vehicles, which are a part of industry and american culture and much more important, to plastic christmas tchotchkes is willfully stupid.imbecile
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯imbecile
- K but you guys know that the salesman at the car dealership couldn’t possibly know how quickly chips manufacturers will ramp up production rightnb
- The car companies are guessingnb

People post shit to my neighborhood forum like“hi everyone, we’re looking to rent a 2 bedroom (or 3!) in the neighborhood preferably with a little outdoor space. Our budget is around $7000 per month, thanks!”
Good grief
- Sometimes I suspect these posts are homeowners or landlords trying to artificially inflate the marketnb
- yeah they should be offering at least $13k for 3 bed, no wonder they are desperately posting on a neighbourhood forum.shapesalad
- I know of two places for rent on my street, one is asking $13k and I talked to the other guy and he said $15k. This is per month rent, in gentrified Brooklyn.nb
- Those places are each 4 bedrooms, one is 2 floors the other is 3 floors. So they’re big spaces. But still... over $150k per year in rent in Brooklyn!! Insane.nb
- Do you own? If so, sounds like you won a small lottery.formed
- I do not own. Most of neighbors are old owners. They’ve made more wealth just from buying one house in the right ‘hood than their entire lifetime salarynb
- They made no money whatsoever to speak of, actually, not if they live there. Probably struggling with the rising taxesmonospaced
- Common misconception is that the equity a house gains is deposited into a bank.monospaced
- Yes I understand. It’s also common to say “they’ve made” to refer to net worthnb
