RE: A waste of money...

I agree the price value relationship is completely out of reason, unless you, as the seller, need a new boat.

But imagine the high fives when they sell one. If you don't ask, you don't get. I almost question the moral integrity of this price point, but I suppose that is taking my disappointment a bit too far. It's not like little kids are saving up to get ripped off. Nor I am in the market at those price points.

With these very expensive carts, I wonder about the labor costs, since most carts share the basic parts, more or less. Suppose it takes an entire day to construct the cart., instead of hours which is probably more on target. How much does the worker get , with the ability to generate such profit. I suppose they get regular wages, like a watchmaker, but with much less complication. How much work can actually be done with only a few pieces to assemble, With an optical comparator, small precise movements are easily viewed .

I don't mind paying for a better idea, and I don't begrudge a man fair profit. However, thrifty lad that I am , I stay with mass market products. I have seen the mark up on carts, and how they are discounted against that cost, so the customer gets the feeling the dealer is doing him a solid by cutting his outrageous profit back to reasonable. I stay with mass marketed carts to avoid the inflated list prices that are designed to be discounted, even knowing the popular priced carts also have unusually high mark up.
