Massdrop has become nothing more than one of the boutique internet marketing sites for people too lazy to shop price and delivery. The kind of folks who simply check their email inbox and say, "Oh, that sure looks cool!" and order it. And Drop is primarily trying to capitalize on those folks, offering items at what amounts to full-boat MSRP, or at best, a price that matches about what you can shop around for on certain items. You need look no farther than the name change - from Massdrop to just Drop. In the past I think they had an interesting idea; gather a group together to make a bulk buy and get a discount for doing so. Now it doesn't seem they do that. Much like retailers who get badge-engineered products, Drop gets someone like Sennheiser to build them a headphone with slightly different colorways, cords, etc., and markets it, period. I think the days of great deals are gone on Drop. That's just not where their marketing strategy lies anymore.

DallaraUnfortunately it's seems to be working for them. It's now just curation, no longer drop prices.

AntneeYep, and now they have gone "all in" on the curation business model by opening an Amazon store. It *should* lead to shorter shipping times, etc. - *if* they manage their inventory well, but that's always been a problem for them so we'll have to wait an see on that point. But gone are the days of their "buying in bulk and passing on the savings to the customer." Drop opening an Amazon storefront just drips with irony.
