New level of ridiculousness

It's sick. Gone up to $16,500 since thread started in 2012.

Has anyone checked the price of New York steaks lately? You need to take out a second mortgage in order to buy beef these days.

Hi Daveyf, I think it tells us that there are people in the world that have LOTS of $, and that there will be products that are marketed for them, which is what I think this power strip is! And the people that don't have much $ will scoff. How about womens purses? I've seen customers coming in with a purse that costs $60,000! A purse for gods sake! Not to mention watches for $300.000.

So why do we complain about this stuff? Its not meant for the masses, this is stuff for the wealthy. So if I had a billion $ and I read a review about a power strip that could possibly improve my stereo, I wouldn't even ask how much , I would just tell my personal shopper to get me one!Heres a scenario for ya, If you went to a garage sale and saw one of these marble power strips for $300.00 Would you buy it?

@racamuti  I told your story to a close find of mine...he immediately stated that there are innumerable numbers of poor folk in China who could have greatly benefited from even a very small fraction of the money that the boys in your example lost. 
Personally, i think your story tells us that the high end gear that is designed for these folks is WAY WAY too inexpensive. It should be priced in the multi millions of $$ for everything in the hobby.

They probably made that $ off the backs of the innumerable poor folk.I agree with what you think personally. If one of their friends see's their $9000.00 power strip they would look for one that cost $18000. This is just rich mans game.
