One thing that keeps coming up is that we are paying for R&D. Wrong. If a speaker maker sold speakers for the sum cost of their expenses it would be almost like loosing money.
No product, good or service should be sold at cost. You always pay for more than what it costs, you pay for the perceived and relative value. That perceived value is complicated, but that's what product managers get paid to calculate.
Mind you, I buy and sell services and goods, so I'm not saying this practice is wrong. I just want to make sure readers and posters understand this.
