Topic: Curious about how price drops work

[GoldenPhoenix]

As most of us know the NDS's official price will be 129.99, now my question is how retailers avoid getting burned by a price drop if they have NDS's already in stock, not sure what the wholesale price is but if nothing is done it would obviously affect their profit. Does Nintendo refund 20$ on each unit sold by the retailer?

no store dont buy ds for stock they just hold on to them and when there sold the money go to nintendo and the store get it's 4¢profit or how much they mark it up and nintendo offcial price is 129.95.
