"If they told me at the outset the iPhone would be $200 cheaper the next day, I would have thought about it for a second - and still bought it," said Andrew Brin, a 47-year-old addiction therapist in Los Angeles. "It was $600 and that was the price I was willing to pay for it."
The hullabaloo arose over Apple's price-slashing only because it came a few months sooner than expected, said Fareena Sultan, an associate professor of marketing at Northeastern University.
Enjoying that period of being among the first - before the price drops and the product reaches the masses - is part of the pleasure, Brin and others say.

Envy and attraction aren't what come to my mind.
I wouldn't give these lemmings a rebate. They'll still buy the next one.
People can be pathetic.
