You appear to be a refugee from Democratic Underground. Aside from a basic economics class, you need some work in anger management.
You’re really pathetic. Anyone who reads our conversation with a level head can see you’ve acted like a common troll.
You said if people are willing to pay 150 for a 5 dollar cable thats what they’re worth.
I said so if someone is willing to pay 50 dollars for a bottle than thats what it’s “worth” (even though it’s not). You agreed then asked me what’s my point. I told you that the water isn’t “worth” 50 dollars, nor is the cable in question worth 150, the monster cable in question is no better than a 5-10 dollar cable.
You then arrogantly claim that I’m an economic buffoon because I can’t “see” your brilliance. No kidding, monster has suckered many people with their snake oil and you — applaud. I don’t. As I mentioned before many people go to big box stores and are suckered because the ONLY option is 100-150 monster cables. Because I don’t say yeah dude if they can get 150 for their crap more power to em’ like you I don’t understand economics???? That’s quite an extrapolation of logic.
You then inaccurately accused me of buying monster cables, showing that you’re just hungry for a fight and didn’t even read what I said.
You’re initial statement on this thread was arrogant and condescending as well as being flat out stupid, NOTHING makes a monster cable “worth” 150 dollars even if someone is will to pay 10 grand for it.
If you would like to argue in the abstract than the monster cable is worth millions, if someone will pay for it.
In the REAL WORLD, the quality of the product is no better than the 5-10 dollar alternative from blue jean or monoprice. As I said before, my comment was to INFORM and help YOU and others who may be buying cables for their new hi-def TV’s and don’t know about this common swindle. You’re a$$hole comment about that if people pay it that makes it worth it was just stupid. So, you’re the only one who knows that if they can sell it for that price it’s not illegal, you’re such an economic genius. The rest of us are consumers who don’t want to get ripped off.
Take your arrogant and condescending attitude and deconstructionist way of debating over to DU, that’s the way they play. You accuse ME of coming from DU?, on what basis???. Just the way you accused me of buying 150 dollar monster cables, out of thin air, the thin air from your tiny, little mind. You just make up lies and then argue the merits of them. You’re twisted.
