re: Making a product "too good". Has this ever been a problem with a product?

An off shoot from your subject would be product advertising. Examples:
During the OPEC oil boycott (long lines and flags saying 'we have no gas today' there were huge numbers of TV ads from Texaco, Shell, Exxon, etc encouraging you to buy their gas. Why? They didn't have any gas to sell. I never see gas station ads now.
During the early 90s there were tons of Chain Saw commercials on TV. But a chain saw is a product you tend to buy once. The majority of people never buy a chain saw in their life. Since the 90s I haven't seen a single chain saw commercial on TV.
