About 25 years ago I rode a motorcycle. Back then I couldn't understand why anyone would buy a Harley Davidson, as they were beautifully made, but had excessive vibration, poor brakes, were not very reliable, etc. etc. And back then, if you attempted to purchase a new Harley at a dealer, they would load up the bikes with accessories and one of my local dealers required that you purchase an extended warranty as well. It just baffled me that they could "get away" with that behavior, but they did.
So, what determines the "value" of an item in our marketplace? I'd say it's what people are willing to pay for it.
