New level of ridiculousness


$8,995 for a power strip???
Stick 8 off the shelf receptacles in a marble??? box, and there it is.
It is getting more and more ridiculous. As if manufacturers are now driven by a desire to extract as much $$$ from aaudiophiles with sufficient income, and not by a desire to advance the quality of their products.
I wonder...

That really puts things in perspective, esp. when I thought spending 3K on my "conditioner" was overboard.
I watched the product video and they make no wild claims. In fact, they make almost no appeal to audiophiles. This strip is being marketed as audio jewelry of exceptional build quality; that’s all.

According to Forbe’s, there are over 1100 billionaires. Some of those guys might lack imagination. So, the way I look at it, these guys with the power strip are just helping them out.
there are many "conspicuous consumption" purchases that one can question, such as jewelry cars and wine.

the business model that assumes ex[ensieve components are inelastic may be true. or an entrepreneeur's model is to sell a few high priced item.

are you getting your money's worth ??? let the consumer decide. caveat emptor !
Two oil businessman discussed new cars drinking beer at the local bar. They decided to go and buy newest Cadillacs. When it came to paying for cars, one reached for the wallet while the other stopped him and said:
"Put it back John, you paid for the beer"
