I get a perverse pleasure sometimes in taking extra care of cheap products. It's like a paradox - you're supposed to treat, say, a dollar store whiteboard with rough disdain, since it's only a dollar and you can just trivially go buy another one. But there's an almost ironic fun in taking good care of it, handling it well, cleaning it carefully, making it last. And of course you can often be more rough and careless with expensive and heavily built products - it's one of their benefits. But they're often more clunky, with an unnecessary leather carrying case, 3x the weight, etc. Not always a clear win.
