I know not everyone is a fan, but in this episode he spends some time and makes some valid points on this issue. One thing he misses is the "snoot factor" that some manufacturers include in their pricing strategy. They know they have customers who can and will pay a premium just because it's the latest and greatest that xyz rag or reviewers say it is and charge accordingly. Why not? I sure would.
