Lol, its a lot nicer than my home stove. People assume because of my studio my house must be even nicer, it's the opposite. My studio is designed to cater to a high clientele. My house is designed for me not to stress out as my kids destroy it. :)

Here's the stove, it is amazing and the chefs always love it.

This might as well be a thread about any hi end product category. There is always something out of the reach of others. If it bothers you that bad go out and make more money. Bitching about it isn't going to change it.

Should I start a thread whining about not being able to afford my own helicopter or Swedish massage team? What about a miniature giraffe? There's always going to be something in the hobby you can't afford. It's not a cheap hobby, it was never a cheap hobby...tough love rant over. :)

Below is a prime example I think about what most of us are talking about. I know why owning my own helicopter or plane costs a lot. I know why rolex sells their watches for crazy expensive. What gets me is that a polyp can be worth $10 one minute and then $120 the next day because someones name is on it. That IMO just makes no sense. Its not about whining because stuff is expensive, its a legitimate gripe to have against people who use their names to make things more expensive just to make more money. You are definitely right though that this is not a cheap hobby, and there are other people out there whose job is just to make it that much more expensive because they are supposedly famous lol.

Jamie can you link the thread.

btw guys its a wysiwyg ad on crappy....err I mean cherry corals. so its 6 polyps for $120. That is still 100% markup, not very smart marketing (since reefbuilders advertised it not even a week ago) and they changed the name. What a great company.

It's only doubled, I wouldn't really call that criminal. But cherry, sexy, and wwc always seem to be way high. I think most expect it from them.

I was always taught in the pet biz, livestock was at least tripled and dry goods doubled to cover livestock losses and overhead.

It happens with everything though. You think that Sony Bravia is any different inside than the Samsung? Yet the Samsung costs $400 less. They are more than likely made in the same factory, just a different case slapped on them at the end of the line.

The difference there though is that they "mostly" are the same. Why are 2 lights T-5 lights that have the same measurements, PAR, etc. different in price? It's not "just" because of who makes it, but also because of where it's made, the material it's made out of, etc! Rolexes are thousands more than any other watch because they don't use cheap parts, but yes the name does play into it as well. But a lot of companies these days have "price match" or have brought their prices down because they know their namesake won't sell their product, especially in this economy. I'm sure high end companies scrambled as well, maybe not totally, but I'm sure Rolex or Nike were thinking, damn whats Plan B once our name starts wearing out on people?

they actually invented something or atleast made it different ....they didn't just pluck it from the wild and say wow i think this is worth ???,xxx .....but really blame the people that pay that much for it just as much as those selling it
