This all get's back to philosphy I think. The camera shop is a capitalist venture, hoping to make as much profit off me as possible. The company I work for hopes to pay me as little as possible and mark up my rate to the end client as high as possible, again maximizing profit. So should I dupefully turn a blind eye and take it on the chin, or should I as a smart consumer, try to conserve as much of my capital as possible, making it stretch further?
If you were going to do that you would not be buying expensive consumer goods that, if they fail in say three years time, will be unfixable.
