Brand name does matter

I was browsing the pistol auctions this morning and noticed that 2 pistols, which are functionally identical ( Omegaton M2201 and Mann mph), are selling for much different prices, with the Omegaton demanding much more markup, despite the fact that the Mann has slightly higher tt value.
It's a nice illustration of the power of brand names and sales!

No, that is because the Man MPH is crafted, and that in the blink of an eye, umpteen more can be produced

But why would someone pay more for the M2201 over the Mann when they are identical in function? Thats what I was wondering at.

Because the M2201 is far more rare.

Think about it. If I can offer you a Toyota Prius, (which is ugly as fuck by the way), and can be mass produced until Toytota sees blue in the face, but goes can go 100/hour, or an old ferrari racecar which can go 100/hour.

Which would you go for?

I know it's exaggerating, but there is no upper limit to the amount of Man MPHs, as they can always be crafted more, while there is an upper limit to the number of M2201s.

The Mann MPH has an ugly green color, whereas the MM2201 is cool and shiny.

The Mann MPH has a higher TT so you can fire more shots. And the more shots you fire the more RSI you get.

I noticed a similar thing with the Ep-22 and an Omegaton h/g (don't remember which one - sorry)
Almost identical stats, but higher markup on the Omegaton.
Or was it the True Faith?
Grr! I'll check next time I log in.

Maddox IV & FreanD Delta. Same stats across the board, except Madd has 4 more attacks/minute and is crafted. (Oh and 5 ped more TT value)

And look at the difference in the markup.
