New level of ridiculousness

My initial post wasn't about an affordability of the $9K power strip at all. Of course, there are people who will be able to pay for it without any damage to their balance sheet.
It was about the value of this particular product, as well, as the value of other high priced audio toys.

I wonder how much one would go for used? That would be a good indicator of actual value. Much of it in this case would probably be due to aesthetics more so than function i would wager.

'It was about the value of this particular product, as well, as the value of other high priced audio toys.'

Well only a buyer can answer that question. Unless you turn to science for the answer, and then the answer is obvious and known by all.
We all splurge on something!! It's a personal choice. Logic, performance and value do not apply. If it did, we might all have BOSE table radios and Honda Civics.

Maril555,
I’m not understanding how one can separate affordability and value. It seems to me that it’s not about the value of the strip per se, it’s about the value one places on the dollar he spends on the strip. And that’s a matter of affordability.

Viridian,
That’s hilarious!

Phaelon,
It's really pretty simple. Imagine a person with an annual income of $10,000,000.00, buying this power strip for $9K.
Is it affordable to him? Of course, it is. Does the fact of such purchase changes the value of the above strip? No, it doesn't, it's still overvalued, relative to the content offered.
That's the whole point- 8 outlets in a shiny marble box for $9,000.00 is overvalued no matter how you slice it, regardless of the affordability.
