They know we will pay anything they can think of
Anyone have any idea how long ago Hifi manufacturers discovered we (audiophiles) will pay almost anything chasing our perfect sound? I individualized it because each of us are reaching for our own personal nirvana. You can go to any audio show, see someone point to a piece of equipment and ask the price. Out comes a price you know the rep made up while sitting in his office wondering how much he can ask those sick people to pay. We know advertising, manufacturing, and overhead is relatively expensive but we also know that the asking price should take care of that if he sells maybe 4 or 5 of them all year. Knowing that I have paid quite a bit for equipment over the years that I knew I shouldn't have but did anyway.

Since 'they/them/those' have all these well-suited charge accounted drones leaning upon and 'contributing to' the 'representatives' that 'clamor and claim' that they serve Us,,,, ,,,a certain NJ rep(rehesible) being an example.... Gold bars....wtf.....'for emergencies'.....Well, I guess this is a good time for one...*LOL* I'm one of those nasty dem types....(oh, shut up....I've got an idea the NDC can run that'll scare the GOP into latte' froth....*evil snicker* ;)...)....
