Agreed. People automatically assume that being too much is a negative thing and associate a negative context with it. I dont think paying too much is positive or negative. It is just a "thing". I think internet is too much. It's the only game in town though, and I have to have it so I pay it. So I let Spectrum charge me $60 a month with the threat of going up every year, until they reach a price I wont pay. You actually WANT people thinking things are too much walking around the show. If everyone thought everything was a super steal, then all the absolute bargains would be snapped up, and you would have nothing left but the OBSCENELY high stuff left behind. If I was at the dealers booth before Wondo, I would have thought to myself "Thats too much" and put them back,and Wondo could have snapped them up later. In a nutshell, stop assoicating pricing with emotions.
