55 Euro only seems like a good price because the market had accepted higher prices (
). 25 Euro would be more easily acceptable.
That is what I'm saying. I also don't expect a compny to make a product and market it for free. If company "A" can make it for $60 and sell it and stay in business, why then does company "B" sell it for $100. BECAUSE THEY COULD AND LIKED THE $$$$$. Let us compare this to the mortgage, auto and real estate business they all charged what ever they thought they could get and where did that get them .....
Bob if the lawyer goon squad could do anything about it they would. Maybe if AMB dumped the piranha lawyers retainer fee they could cut the price and be competitive.Paying higher prices for advancing technology is one thing this technology hasn't changed in decades, so why the inflated cost?????
