    The cost of things has detached from what it costs to put the thing in the hand of the consumer, to instead a model of “what is this worth to you”.

      Yeah we’re reaching the point where it becomes clear that the market can’t bear everyone charging the most the market can bear.

      People will pay extra for a luxury. People won’t pay the most they’re willing to pay on a luxury on every luxury they’ve gotten accustomed to at a reasonable price.

        I hope you’re right, but I’ve seen a concerning amount of people say “It’s only $X, so why not?” so many times that it’s eating up a huge percentage of their monthly earnings.
