Re: inflated pricing said by tmc8080:Smart phones should not be $600.. they are ripping the consumer off.. the cost of making these devices since the iphone (gen2) have been cut by neary 30% and yet they still love these wack-job gouging prices! A top of the line smart phone should be $450, tops (with every possible feature you could imagine).. not $600+ yet, there are millions of people who keep falling for the higher prices scam all the time. Other than making sure the cost to manufacture doesn't exceed the selling price (and there are time when companies will intentionally do that), the selling price has nothing to do with the cost to produce. Right now, I'm wearing a limited edition Tag Heuer watch. At home, I've got watches by Rolex, Breitling, Oris, Ebel, and two other Tags. I also have a Citizen. The higher end watches cost anywhere from 10 to 25 times the price of the Citizen. Do they cost that much more to manufacture? Doubt it. They can get the higher prices because of a perceived value. It's the same with cell phones. If you don't think a particular phone is worth a certain amount, don't buy it. That's like me saying that I want a new Mercedes E Class, but only want to pay $30,000 for it. Not gonna happen.
