Most overpriced audio component made


Are all audio components overpriced? It seems when I try to trade in a used piece that I paid 2000 for and I'm offered 175, I wonder if I paid too much in the first place.

Tml2: you have no clue, just guesses. Bulk of the cost in most wire is in the termination. Advertising is a fortune, and if there are no ads, no one will buy (on a large scale). Also, the greater the dollar amount, often the better it is perceived to be. Great low price products often do NOT sell (they can;t be good, they don;t cost enough, many think). I have taken apart many cables, and know what's inside, about what it costs, and the labor involved. 80-90% profit by the better companies? If you had the "ability"not to ASSume, and make blanket statements, you would not be an ASS, but you are. Oh, and your comments on the mfr's making the most is no news flash to anyone, so save it.
What a lot of bull dust. If its all so over-priced why do you buy it? If you don't buy it, what's the problem? In the real world, an item is worth what someone is prepared to pay. If I make a product that has ready substitutes, then I have every right to put what ever price I want on it. Your concept of intrinsic value is different from mine - that's why demand curves have a slope. And if they are creaming it why don't you go buy some Belden, dress it up and become a millionaire? - because you wouldn't stoop so low, huh? Bollocks! This whinging (and the negative posts concerning McCormack Amps) is pathetic.
