| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? While I think it is interesting and instructive to affirm the many costs that go into every product, I think this has little to do with the cost to acceptance factor that is in my OP. The question of whether something can be overpriced in this ho... | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. @nonoise while I believe what you say about companies knowing the floor of what can be attained price wise, I doubt they truly know the ceiling. | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. @nonoise There are a number of competing cable manufacturers who are out there selling cable looms at all different price points. Some of these folks have cables that I, and I believe most of you, would say are more than competitive with the top ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? This industry may be the exception to the rule, but in most sales based industries, if one prices the product too high, the result is simply a no sale situation. I believe this applies to luxury items, but perhaps there are exceptions to this rule... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @8th-note Some excellent points. Which is why I asked the OP, when is the price simply too high? Perhaps the answer is at a far higher price point than has been entertained by the industry so far. Question becomes what that price point is..and fo... | |

| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Part of my OP came from a recent discussion that I had with a very very well heeled friend who can easily afford anything in high end audio. To this gent, a multi million dollar system is no strain on the pocketbook. What interested me was his com... | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. @mike_in_nc Good point, hadn't thought of that, LOL. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @steakster While you are correct in alerting folks to the many costs incurred by manufacturers, i also question where the process is when it comes to a speaker ( maybe any speaker/ high end product at this price point) that comes in at a consumer... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @labguy while I think your math is not quite correct for this particular speaker, as it leaves out a number of factors, including the R&D costs, shipping, advertising, dealer mark up etc., I do think that it is likely that there is a very sign... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @jl35 That business model is common. Question is whether a product in this hobby can be so high priced, that the result is zero sales? Or,not enough sales to justify the product and its cost to come to market? I do wonder if these questions even o... | |
