Completely unhelpful because times have changed. That's why this is a Frontpage deal, this is a good price.
But sure, I'm the dingus because I'm not crapping on a front page deal that's a good price in modern times - you know, the ones we actually live in and that don't require a time machine unlike the time period where you apparently live and judge prices from.
Maybe look at the recent price history on an item and judge the deal according to that instead of some random price from the past you've held onto regardless of any events that have transpired since. Especially when the deal is the same as previous good FP deals.
Or, you know, just get lost.
I don't know how half of what you've said is relevant honestly.
People come here to find the best current offered price on an item, learn something about the item itself, and find tips about stacking discounts. They don't want to wait 3 years, travel back in time, change the landscape of manufacturing and price fixing, or whatever other nonsense you've brought up. All your comments do is detract from the discussion and muddy the waters of useful discourse.
The purpose of posting here is to either offer useful information, kudos, or potentially correct misinformation. Nothing you've said falls under any of those categories.
Pontificate all you want, but at least try to add to the usefulness of the forum. And the passive aggressive heart is equally unnecessary.

Are these WD externals just as loud as the ServerPartDeals [serverpartdeals.com]manufacturer recertified enterprise drives that are 14TB for $135?
You have once again claimed I said things that I didn't for positions and arguments I never took. I can find you a straw man if you need one...
Here's to you and the point, ships passing in the night..

..... because times have changed. .... this is a good price.
Ok, so that's what we're all facing, and it may be all you can get today, but it does not now, or ever, make this a "good price". I too recently bought a WD drive for more than I paid years ago and it did not make me happy.
WD is gouging all the way to the bank, and when they throw out a little reprieve from their bend-over-assault, it may seem better to those with a form of stockholm syndrome. To anyone else, it is not.

I'm fine with being a village idiot if it means I don't have to turn everything into a political or philosophical debate. Some of us just want the best deal on toilet paper!

The WD stock pricing is about the same as it was during the pandemic lows. Their gross profits are currently lower than their sector, telling me they are either pricing based on competition already or are very poorly run. None of that indicates gouging to me.
It's really hard to say what a "good price" ever is without really being an analyst for a specific company. Some companies have a market competitive advantage in one product so their price "could" be lower but they use the item as a "cash cow" and keep it at market price to uplift other areas of the company. Not usually considered gouging, just a business strategy to stay afloat.
If the other major hard drive companies were experiencing some external factor that limited their ability to deliver product, and WD raised prices to capitalize on the situation, I would consider that gouging. But I see Seagate products available (others too) and priced in line for similar quality units, so that's not the issue.
External factors that hit an industry broadly, like higher taxes, more government red tape, shipping embargoes, future government policies, etc. increase costs which get passed down to the consumer, if they can. This will cause an upward shift in pricing since a company's goal is really to make money, not do anybody any favors.
Somebody else was talking about the oil companies gouging. Maybe they are, but just because the current administration says it and the NY Times echos it, doesn't make it so.
The fact is that oil companies budget in 10 to 50 year cycles. When the political administration says it expects to stop manufacturing gasoline cars in 10-15 years, cancel a pipeline, etc. and it looks like the population agrees with that, oil companies take action today.
They cancel capital investments in processing plants, pipelines, exploration, etc. because a lot of these won't be generating income for over 10 years and would require 50 years of operation to be profitable against the debt. Short term this may make profits look higher, since the funds budgeted for the long term capital investments aren't spent and drop that year to the bottom line.
This is not a political statement, but the average population doesn't understand most things, and definitely not the complexities of these economic planning issues, so when our government says "company x is gouging and that's why consumer price increased", many people (like Nature1 guy) pile on and say "hey, it's the evil corporations, not your governing!"
Anyway, Slick-deals is really to just locate the best price now. If someone can wait on a purchase, and they think the price will go down, they should wait.
And I say that as someone who runs a Linux home server with 4x 6TB drives in a RAID array. Serves as my network hub for my business, the Mrs. business, and two kids who game & edit GoPro videos.
