Look at the price you pay for a camera bag, compared to something very similar sold as a 'utility' bag to Joe Public, or a waterproof camouflaged 'fishing' jacket compared to the same type of article bought new at an Army surplus store.
Bottom line is, we public are way too easily led my manufacturers and their marketing people who create that 'perceived' need that makes us buy, often at a price far in excess of what is rational!
Back in the nineties, before HD, there was Digital Video, and one of the first affordable very good cameras, was like $3000. Then the company, one of the big Japanese giants, heard that pros was flocking to this camera and using it for serious projects, and they hiked the price over 3X!
Now there's a money making opportunity! There's medical marihuana, medical everything, so why isn't there any medical erotic imagery? :-)

That's why a $3,000 new car now costs $30,000 but doesn't get your ass down the road any faster, better or more frequently than the $3,000 one did. You pay because you can't bear to see the other guy with something you can't have.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because there's no real Market because all medicine is paid for by the obligatory health insurance here in Germany. You even have to pay a fee for each medication which you get from the drugstore.
ReplyDeleteRegulation regulation, no transparency, no Market.
Erotic prescriptions: this would certainly pave the way to a healtier life haha!
