Reply to "(07/12/21) SOLD OUT! Santa Fe F3 Diesel Locomotive from Menards!"

I get what you are saying here, the spirit of this "non-conventional" beta testing program was to get this into the hands of enthusiasts and regular everyday operators to get real world feed back from everyday model railroaders and not just a few hand picked folks for a beta test program.  I like how Menards did this, the unit we sampled work pretty good, and I sent my feedback to Menards directly as they requested.

The guy who is selling the unopened model didn't care about the true spirit of this beta test program but he is still contributing in one small way, what are folks willing to pay for this thing? Obviously not $300 because as of now it has zero bids. But also we need to consider that selling an unused beta product only gives a loose idea of what the finished product might be worth on an open market.

Is his moral compass broken? I would say not completely, but his intentions are clear. Make a quick buck by taking advantage of the demand over the supply... still a little slimy.
