I leave the price tags on. 🙄
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
Putting security and personal safety issues aside, do you share with others how much you have invested in your system?
I can see cases when we share with those who are generally interested what the "tariff" is for superb audio reproduction. Or, those who are already know how tall you have to be to ride the ride.
Can you think of any other reasons (accountants, lawyers, insurance, etc)? Afterall, when your spouses second cousin pulls in the driveway in their Minivan, bragging about fact that you have $10k invested in cables may not be the best way show common interests?
What say you?

Many years ago, after what must have been an effective demo, a customer said "yes" to purchasing at $1,500 pair of speakers. At the sales counter, he said: "You know these are going to cost me $3,000." After a puzzled look from me, he followed with: "After I buy somehting I want, my wife spends the same among of money on something she wants." Â |
I may mention retail prices on certain components, and then mention I purchased it used, not exact price given. I then go into how I built up system over years selling off the old in order to purchase the replacement. Â When I think about the resources I've expended in this pursuit it offends my usually frugal nature. I feel like I'm apologizing more than bragging when I mention prices/value of my system. To think of all the billions who live a subsistence existence, I feel so privileged! |
