(Tim wrote:-) Quality and value does not imply high price. Are you
saying in times of trouble people waste their money on overpriced, poor
quality items?
(Joe replies:-) From what I've observed that's exactly what they
do, Tim. They may dearly love to have 'quality' and 'value' if they had
money enough to afford it. But when they don't? (And most of them
don't!) They DO 'waste' what they have on overpriced, (in relation to
longevity and overall usefulness), poor quality items. The secret of
modern retaling seems to be to find the products that sell the cheapest, and
those are always the ones which will travel the shortest distance from
store-shelf to land-fill! In our own business, it's always the
low-priced 'crap' that sells first. Though what anyone could do with
'lumber' that's one jump removed from the fire-wood pile, is beyond me.
There is no 'real' saving. It's simply they just ''don't have the
money'' for something better.
