Supply and demand.....I learned about that long ago......
Now you can see why I am a techie and not a business owner 
Well, supply and demand is often a bit of an oversimplification, but in general yes, that's the gist of it.
I don't know enough about alphakilts to say if they only dropped prices to stir interest, as there may have been other factors. For example they may have been charging more earlier due to basic start up costs, and now can afford a lower price. But I can say it definitely has increased demand, as I am now seriously considering getting one very soon.
