		<description>I like this article, very interesting and gives you something to think about. it depends also I think on how much you are prepared to pay for an item. if it is something you really desire and you consider it value for money then spend that cash!</description>

		<description>The dollar and our worldwide economy actually runs on perceceived value, but so what. 

 The fact is that I have more fun driving my Jag than driving a VW.
 I enjoy genuine diamonds, even though I know that if DeBeers opened their vaults instead of restricting diamond outflow, those rocks would be as cheap as glass. 

And btw, I love Paris Hilton who actually sells decent products at reasonable prices.

  If everyone sat on their wallets,  buying only real value as needed, it would cause a worldwide depression.

 I for one consider it my patriotic duty to spend in order to keep the American economy going.</description>

		<description>dhimes,

Not only that, but the harder the economy the more people tend to adopt a Consumer Reports mentality, which is why my previous post covered how to write copy for CR-style products at CR-style prices.  What I&#039;m addressing here is those instances when you can&#039;t justify your prices through a strictly CR-style substantiation - what then?  At that point, it&#039;s worth attempting to build value by this method before resolving your company to lowering prices and margins.

		<description>Very good graph and article.  It&#039;s totally all about perceived value!  Providing you bring that up to a high, the price you can set limitless.  If you can make someone believe that a mere pen is worth $200, by all means - do it and sell it for that price!</description>
