This should come down to profit margins. If TVs are sold for production costs or at a loss, then all profits come from advertising.
If buyers go for sticker prices and $10 make or break a deal, then it doesn't matter if the product costs $1000. If somebody can offer a similar product for $990, people will buy that. With all the features and options, what else but price is relevant unless you have time to study the subject?
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoThat’s nieve. Does it match your decor? I think you’d be surprised by the number of people who buy something that’s in their price range but also matches their idea of what that thing should look like. Style.
- rootusrootus 6y agoAt the $1000 point, most buyers are definitely focused on the price. Buyers who care about style are spending $2000+ on their fridge, and that's just for the low level stuff you find at a big box store.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoWaddayamean? From my perspective, a $1000 screen is a significant purchase. Hell, spending $500 on an appliance gives me pause. Mind you, you’d probably laugh out loud if you saw what us locally employed (ie, not FIFO) tradespeople get paid.
- rootusrootus 6y agoI'm sure it varies, of course, but where I live a thousand bucks will get you a bog standard side-by-side fridge of middling quality. Functional, but not the least bit exciting. Everyone seems to want french door models these days, and that pretty much instantly pushes you to the $2000 range. We have a french door fridge and I loathe it. Someone told me to skip that and get a bottom freezer single-door, but my wife really wanted the french door. We regret it. The recommendation to avoid was spot-on.
