@mickey. As usual i like your post. You were not in vegas right? Weve miss you
If i can add to your comments in my own (bad english speaking) words, well i will say that most of the top brand are most of the time over-priced, does it means its wrong or your a sheep to buy them, not really.
People will pay for a brand or something trendy, even if its not the best.
Why people buy Armani clothes, because of the brand, yes they have nice quality and beautiful clothes, but mostly for the brand, if your rich or you want to look like, well its a way to show it.
I have a tag watch , that cost 100x more than my previous watch....they both give the same time right !
Some good sparkling wine are better than some champagne, some nice brandy are better than some cognac... So why people buy the expensive stufff.
. Many reasons, some are too rich to buy anything else, their affraid to be judged.
Some want to show they are near the 1%
But i think for a lot of peoples its an emotion, it make you feel good to buy luxury and brands. Life is so short, peoples want to make sure they have access sometimes to something special/trendy/en vogue.
Theres a price to pay to feel cool, succesfull, up to date. Even if its not the best, if it makes you feel good , if you need ego boost, if it help u to catch girls or impress women, if you feel special and you like it...go ahead..,thats the most important.
Some android are better than iphone, but iphone is still a very good phone, and ya, its way more trendy.
We also need peoples that like to be different, that like to get deals instead of reputation, that goes on the 3rd rail... Thats why we live in a beautiful world.... And we need differences and some to think out of box ...
