Poll: Do you get what you pay for? Or are expensive things overpriced?
This poll is closed.
The cheaper, the better. Price is just a number.

You get what you pay for. The price of something is representative of how well-made it is.

In between. Price matters to a point, after that cutoff point it's just about status/novelty.

You get what you pay for...?

You get what you pay for...?
Do you guys and gals believe that you generally get what you pay for? Or that most, if not all, expensive things are overpriced? Obviously the concept of something being overpriced can be completely subjective here... but I'm just talking in a general sense.

Or do you fall somewhere in the middle? That you get what you pay for to an extent... but that there's a point when the price of something simply becomes about novelty or status?

I'm interested to hear what people think.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
