So many people seem to think that when you buy something, getting the 
lowest possible price is the *only* thing that matters. Which is 
frustrating, because I'd actually prefer to pay more money for a quality 
product. But since that's currently unfashionable, nobody makes those 
anymore. (Or if they do, because so few people buy them, they're 
*severely* expensive. Manufacturing costs have to be split between a 
fewer number of buyers, and all that.) It's not even like buying a more 
expensive model even guarantees better quality anymore; anybody can take 
an inferior item and just slap a bigger price tag on it...
