We've recently seen some poor reviews of headphones which many people owned. Now, I am glad ASR is providing a service to the general public, but a poor review of equipment can tank the resale value of a set of headphones. On the flip side, a good review of an inexpensive unit can increase the selling price in the marketplace.
This is where ASR Insider status comes in. One week prior to a review, Amira privately informs ASR insiders that a product's market price will go either down or up, giving current owners time to recoup their expenditure, or other people time to buy the product before prices go up.
I am not sure what the monetary value of this information is, but it is surely more than nothing, and represents an easy and ethical way for ASR members to support the forum.
