it seems to be a common thing to do, quietly dump the old stock prior to a new release, would it not be better to announce a new model and at the same time officially lower the price of the existing kit, giving the customer all the info up front to either buy a current model at a lower price or wait for the new one and pay the full price.

Dumping product can mean several things not just a new model but is the company going out of business, being taken over for another, I think in the long term it also damages customer brand loyalty, there is nothing worse than turning up with a new car only to hear a newer one has been released or the price you have just paid has been chopped by 50%.

They never have liked to give too much away though until the day it's out and everyone loses money
Honesty best way

So for example you two buy a k1 tomorrow and Friday Schumacher anounce a k1 let's say worlds kit and drop the price of the current k1 on the same day, you will not feel the same as your comments?
