Some mates and I were thinking about why people don't prefer durable goods to the cheap crap.
Can they not afford it?
Are they short sighted?
Do they not care about waste?
Is it cheaper to buy cheap ones repeatedly?
We concluded that it's mainly a lack of transparency in the market.
Will this more expensive one last longer?
Will the company be around in 5 years?
If so, will they still offer replacement parts?
If they sold a great make & model years ago and you want to buy another one, have they silently changed it to cut costs?
It's a crap shoot. Someone should solve this problem.
