That's the nth time I read that citation here. It's appealing but does not match my experience. I can afford to buy good and expensive stuff, but it is really difficult to tell good and bad stuff apart especially outside ones domain. And you can buy a lot of crap for much money. The main problem is information asymmetry and I'd wish regulation would take this out of the equation (like a mandatory sticker "Must last at least until...", although this doesn't solve all problems).
