Not only does this completely ignore my post, this is absolutely hilarious when followed by your next quote...

You just did the same thing to this entire forum (and once specifically directed at me), what's your problem?

Go to a store and ask why this item is worth more than the cheap one and sometimes it makes sense.

Wow, really?
You made two MASSIVELY incorrect assumptions. My post talked specifically about value, the word was even
bolded. I grew up with the same lesson. I also grew up learning that there's no reason to spend money unnecessarily. For example, I could easily afford to replace every cable in my home theatre system with Monster cables but to do so would not be good value for money, so I won't. I'm not going to buy the +$100 Monster HDMI cable when I know there is no benefit to spending that money over a Monoprice cable, no matter what some silver-tongued salesman says about it. There isn't +$95 more value in a Monster cable.
You assume because some of us want to find a good deal on things that we're either cheap or liars. The answer is that we want good value for our money. Cheap would be buying something we know is unfit for the job, something that won't last.
