Also if everyone stopped buying stuff what would that do to the economies of the world. I assume you all know how the fractional reserve system works with inflation and deflation etc....
If people stopped buying as much of some thing because it was manufactured better, they'd buy more of other things, or save / invest their money -- which would get loaned to someone who would then buy something useful. The reason that we don't see higher quality goods is not that the economy needs constant churn to keep chugging along, but that the masses would rather something cheap that has to be replaced then something expensive that can be kept forever...
I wish everyone on Earth would just stop buying cameras (or anything) for a few weeks
If asked though I guess I would opt for having seals in all models - I mean as a consumer.
But then you hang it in that trendy storefront in NYC where it costs $500 / sqft / month and you start to see where the real costs come in.
If I started over, I would want a system that is small, it's one of the reasons I always like Pentax - weather-seals, LiveView, sensor clean, and the smallest system out there.
I wish Canon had a smaller FF dSLR, and a few small prime lenses. Probably soon...
No.. you misunderstand. I'm talking about clothing at Kohls, targets... your regular clothing stores. I don't spend money on clothing.... Those trendy storefronts play a relatively small part in the market. Its the clothing that millions purchase that really make a difference.
Space at Kohl's still costs money. Believe it or not most malls even out in the middle of nowhere might still be charging $100 / sq ft (I forget the exact numbers from the real estate finance course I took a while back). But you have the entire cost of getting there too -- space on a container from china, space in a warehouse in the US, space on a UPS truck to ship it there. Then on top of that add the cost of humans (e.g. to pull boxes), taxes, and anything else you have to pay (let's not forget spoilage -- maybe 25% of those cheaply made jeans don't fit right and need to be sent to an outlet store or recycled).
The fact that Kohl's costs are less and they're not going for the brand factor so much is reflected in the fact that I can get a pair of jeans there for under $20. It's a huge markup over the cost of just making the pants but it's not that big a markup over the total cost from manufacturing to selling
Well if I have something I can sell at $20, why would I sell it at $5?
