You and me both, brother...you and me both.
So many of us want them - why don't they just make another batch?

And...? That company can't make them because of why? There are no less than 10 people asking about them. This is pretty simple.Because its now proprietary of another company..
That being said, I have the last of mine I'll be posting up next week, so watch for a thread about that.

But they are a for-profit business, right? Seems like they are leaving a large amount of money on the table. Seems odd to me.They don't make promotional items, they are a automotive forum conglomerate.
Gotta consider it this way, they make money on the advertising and footprint of the forum, to have a license plate frame with raised two color lettering is roughly $20 a piece, to get a bulk order for pricing to drop you generally have to buy 100 or more. If You only have 7-10 people purchasing a plate, you are sitting on $1,800 worth of product that the likelyhood of selling over the next year or two is minimal.But they are a for-profit business, right?

I talked to them prior about this but I never really heard back about it, if they give me the OK I'll make a custom run of some, but they won't be as cheap as they were ($15). The last purchase we did was for 200 and it took over 4 years to finally sell most of them..Yeah that's kinda lame. They buy the forum to let it die? They have people wanting to grow the following but won't allow them to make promotional items to grow traffic that makes them $? Weird.

Please talk to them. Show them how quickly all 21 of the frames you had sold out. Shit, I wasn't on the board for less than 20 hours and they were all gone with multiple people begging for more.Gotta consider it this way, they make money on the advertising and footprint of the forum, to have a license plate frame with raised two color lettering is roughly $20 a piece, to get a bulk order for pricing to drop you generally have to buy 100 or more.

Just food for thought.
Doubtful. The price point hasn't increased dramatically.Supply/Demand. I think more people want them now because they are "rare".
