There are genuine differences between high-end and mid-range products, which are never fully covered by technical specs. If you're lucky, you can watch three or four youtube videos and get a general impression; but you can't do that for every product, so you need to make a shortlist first. Pricing is a useful signal for that. Then there are mid-range products sold at a high price, of course, but you almost never see high-end products sold at mid-range prices.

> Pricing is a useful signal for that. I disagree. Pricing is a very poor signal for that, depending on the sort of good. Pricing tells you what the target demographic of the store is. It doesn't reliably tell you much about quality. > but you almost never see high-end products sold at mid-range prices. I guess that depends on what you mean by "high end", but in my experience, there isn't usually a great deal of difference in quality between high priced and mid priced goods. The large and consistent difference between the two is in presentation and aesthetic design. If those are important to you, fair enough. But I don't consider either of those to be quality issues.
