I also dont think you can say that expensive pricing is reflective of a persons values.................
I have always appreciated well designed, well made stuff but couldn't afford them, (well except for a few years when I had this big paycheck job

As a person that made clothes I always knew it was possible to create great stuff within a small business with a specific type of setup and not have it cost that much, so in a way my work is about providing a well designed product, in limited quantities for a person who is not exceptionally wealthy.
However, there ARE people who are wealthy, or are at least willing to pay for big ticket items at the expense of purchasing something else, personally, I have no beef with that. There are different products for different people with the same basic needs.
I drive a Toyota Camry, that's what I can afford, my brother has a 750 BMW. I cant afford that, but I'm not mad at him for owning one, nor do I think a car shouldn't cost 80 grand..........
I dont own any shoes that cost more than $500, but if someone has 3K and wants to spend it on a pair of shoes, fine by me.........
