I love how they used to advertise the prices of the toys so retailers couldn't jack them up sky high like they do now. Everyone had to sell for the same price and make the same profit.

@Pro1er 4 жыл бұрын

It was most likely for the opposite reason. Some of these toys were almost a days wages back then, that was a hard sell. The large retailers probably didn't want the smaller stores selling them at a discount and requested that the toy companies price-fix them.

@The V0iD so instead of letting the western free-market competing price be stablished thru supply and demand u propose the commie State way: imposed fixed prices for the goods and services no matter if they are any good quality, dont care what the operative costs are, etc

@Aetrion 4 жыл бұрын

That's not because people jacked up the price, but because giant companies that can eat losses could drop the price to drive all competition out of business. Even if the price is fixed the smaller the store the more risk they take and the less profit they make.

Remco Industries, Inc. was a toy company in the United States founded in the 1940s. It was best known for toys marketed and sold in the late 1950s and early 1960s, like the 'Johnny Reb Cannon', 'Mighty Matilda Atomic Aircraft Carrier', 'Remco Voice Control Kennedy Airport' (which featured model airplanes of American, TWA and United Airlines, an album player and an album which played a voice giving landing and take-off instructions) and the tethered 'Electronic Falcon Plane' that "flies itself". The company's slogan was "Every Boy Wants a Remco Toy...And So Do Girls!"...
