Definitely true. There are also instances of companies charging premium prices for lower quality products in many hobbyist communities. I'd say the clear corollary to "you get what you pay for" is caveat emptor "buyer beware".
As an aside, I know it's typically discouraged from commenting about downvotes, but within minutes my comment in the thread was heavily downvoted and I don't understand why?
- NullPrefix 8y ago"You get what you pay for" is a slogan pushed by high markup resellers who want to look like they provide some value.
- otakucode 8y agoIt is also a slogan I am personally hoping catches on in certain industries like the gaming industry - but with different emphasis. That if you pay for something, you're going to get it. So stop paying for it if you don't want to get it. Gamers pay for tremendous abuse to be done to them, and then walk around wide-eyed and mystified why they're being mistreated. Then they pay for more of it.
