<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MandiSnyder, post: 1140203, member: 30074&quot;]And that is why as a consumer, you have the choice to purchase or not purchase items from a company. My grandmother collects Cat&#039;s Meow houses.&nbsp; They are small wooden houses that are painted and have a small black cat on each of them.&nbsp; They run about $14-$40 per house for wood and paint that costs less than $1.&nbsp; This is not something I would ever buy, but she adores them.&nbsp; You know the saying, &quot;something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.&quot; It is the same thing with items like Abercrombie &amp; Fitch jeans.&nbsp; They cost about $70 a pair and probably contain less than $3 worth of denim.&nbsp; Again, this is not something I consider a value so I don&#039;t shop there....but I know plenty of people who happily pay this price to have their logo&#039;d apparrel.&nbsp; </p><p>I believe that we provide our customers excellent products, value, and service.&nbsp; Some people appreciate that they don&#039;t have to go out searching for newly minted coins and like that they can be confident that each coin will be shipped as soon as it has been released.&nbsp; Please do not mistake my comments as marks against A&amp;F or Cat&#039;s Meow.&nbsp; I understand that there are many costs associated with running a business that the consumer does not see.&nbsp; For example, our employer offers us a very nice benefit plan and we are paid fair wages that allow us to support our families -- these and many other things affect the pricing of a particular product. Surely, no one on this forum is naive enough to believe that a company could sell an item for a little above cost and continue to be in business for long. We aren&#039;t the US Government after all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
