I'm saying we should look at it from the people in that market perspective and the value it brings them or not. The fact that Apple is not including by default is significant. They expect the vast majority of their customer to no need the stand. The option to have a stand at all is probably only for very small shop, like youtube star, and for them they have to see it as buying a 6K monitor, which is probably still a good deal for them as it gives them an affordable alternative to a reference monitor.
In general, it is a specifically designed stand for a monitor targetted at a very small part of an already niche market. So yeah, it's expensive.
- Dylan16807 7y agoI disagree with some of the points there, but that's not what I was posting about. I was disagreeing with the car analogy. If a car costs 25x as much as a normal car, some random piece of plastic will cost much more than it normally would. But it won't be a much higher percentage of the car's price. The total percentage still has to be 100 at the end of the day, and there are extravagant body/engine/luxury features that eat into it. This screen is at most 4x the cost of reasonable competition. It is not at all common for products that cost 4x as much to have accessories that cost 20x as much.
- gutnor 7y agoIs it because it is a story about Apple that we need to forget everything about how pricing works ? According to your theory, Ergotron should charge me different prices depending on the price of monitor I'll put on it. Or a restaurant should charge you more if you have skipped a meal that day.
- Dylan16807 7y agoI was just placing limits on how much prices differ! I don't think it's good for them to differ much at all. Aren't you the one defending the price difference here?
