They're just always over priced ...
Well, according to discussions here on Free Republic... (on other threads and on other items) -- they can't be overpriced ... LOL ...
I mean, when people buy them in those kind of quantities and blow away everyone's predictions (from "total failure" to even the most optimistic outlook for sales) -- that's not "overpriced" ... :-)
BUT, of course, the "comeback" to the fact that -- "they can't be overpriced, because of how wildly they are selling to the consumer" -- the answer is "Oh well..., that's just because of Apple's marketing!" ... [are there people who really believe that for "products" ... :-) ...]
Silly people... marketing can't make up for bad products over-priced products and products that don't have everything that people want -- they will fail. And they can't be overpriced, or they wouldn't sell like crazy ...
And..., there ya go ... :-)
For most people that would be true but there is a certain percentage of the population that doesn't care. Apple customers will buy anything Apple puts out regardless of the price or the quality. Harley-Davidson buyers are exactly the same. HD makes junk and grotesquely over charges because their customers will buy anything they make. Except for maybe the V-Rod but that went against everything Harley stood for.
Apple and Harley-Davidson are both considered cult brands.
