Now, if I produce 200 shirts and decide to sell them, and I say as a selling point that only 200 will be made, I believe I am obligated to restrict myself to that number, no matter how fast I might sell them out. Part of the reason that they might have sold so quickly could be the “promised” limitedness of the shirt. Though I might have screwed myself in terms of limited profit in the short term, my reputation as a business of integrity is far more important in the long term.

Even if TLC apologized and offered to buy back any of the extra 10152s that I bought, I wouldn’t take them up on their offer. I just want them to stick with facts and certainties, or let us know if plans are just plans and not set in stone.

You know what, at this point if I was head of marketting at TLC I would pull the new run from S@H and only supply them to Maersk. That’d make money for the company AND save their integrity (1).
