Hi mylotters.This is a very common notion followed by many customers who are not aware of the product and the companies involved.In such a confused state people generally look at the price tag and compare them with the others.And then they decide by themselves the quality of product.It is really a very bad practice.First of all customers should be aware of the consumer goods.And be it the some beaut products or any important decision in life I believe people should not make decisions wildly by just analyzing one parameter.They should really learn about it and then only come to any conclusion.
What do you all think mylotters??

I don't go by price I go by either quality or quantity. When buying a computer i look to see what is in my budget but don't get the most expensive one that I can afford. I look at what is included in the price of each. If the more expensive one has something that I do not need there isn't the need of paying for it. As far as clothes go. I buy most clothing used. When I do buy new I check the quality of the material compared to the price of the item. I am not one to pay 20 bucks for one piece of clothing or 100 for one pair of shoes. I buy for the purpose not for the style or the look.

Hi mellissa.So you always keep money in mind while shopping.That is a good trend. Most of the people forget that.And when I say most that includes me as well. You are right not everyone goes after the price tag.Anyways thanks for your response..

Hello shames! For me, it really depends on the product. Like for example if you are buying a beauty product or medicines, you can simply look at the content and compare it with the expensive brands. If you would notice, the content is the same and you can expect the effect to be the same.

But when it comes to clothingline, i think i would agree that "if it is expensive then it really has to be good and it better be original." But you know, original stuff can be duplicated, so if there are again duplicates, i would most certainly buy the duplicates because they are cheaper heheheh..




myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi graceekwenx.Well you are right.Most of he people look for brand and then for price.And if both of them match then they decide to buy it.But I never look at the content of the product because I dont understand them.Anyways thanks for your response..

it does not follow. it is not always true that if it is expensive, it has to be good. i have, on several occasions, proven that to be wrong.

i actually found one similar product being sold by two stores. they sell it cheap at the first store but it has a higher tag price at the other. i know that the item is the same, everything including the brand.

of course, all things should be considered in buying an item.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi moneymakingtoday.You are right.Even I have observed that in case of computer parts.And the best part is they are almost opposite to each other in location as well.I dont know what they have in mind.Anyways thanks for your response..

I frequently buy ebooks and sometimes i find that they tend to overpriced. A particular ebook I bought was overpriced and the content was not worth the price. I felt that it should have been sold for $27 instead of $67.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi worldwideadi.You are right.Sometimes things are pretty overpriced irrespective of their content specially over the internet.Even I have seen a lot of products mainly electrical that are highly overpriced on the internet.Anyways thanks for your response..

it's usually true but by no means is it a 100% thing. For computers i think that's usually true but for things like books that's not always true.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi satan.You are right.Books are totally different category.ut still if the buyer is not an experienced person about books probability is high that he/she will end up on the wrong side.Anyways thanks for your response..

I think most expensive products are good.But not all.So you should decide by your experience and knowledge.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi yuhangchao.You are right.We should use our knowledge and experience instead.But what if we are going to buy a new product of whose detail we are not aware of.Then what factors do you chose while buying them?Is the price of the commodity one of them.Anyways thanks for your response..

hello Shames,
I don't think so for in my own opinion there are goods/products/services that are much cheaper but the quality is still good. some items that we are buying are expensive because they are branded and has a name. that is the very reason why they are expensive. we are paying the brand name.
for me, why we settle for expensive products/services/items when we can have them less cheaper. we just need to wait when they are on sale already so we can have save. need not to buy things that are new in fashion.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi robert.You are right.The products that are new are often quite expensive.So it is better to wait.And also I think taste is more important tan brand.So if the thing you like is cheaper and not a branded i think still one should buy it.Anyways thanks for your response..

NO! Today, I bought a really great pair of pants for $4.40, a new pair of pants at Kohls. These pants started out at $44, but I wasn't going to pay that price. Things can be a low price and still be great.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi rogue13xmen13.Well you are very right about that.Things dont have to be expensive to be of good quality all the times.That is the message I wanted to send everyone here through this discussion.Anyways thanks for your response..

I don't really go by price to determine if something is good enough to own. I look at the overall quality of the product. I had a lot of expensive stuff break down on me too. So you have to have a good look through before you decide to purchase it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shames (1329)   ranked 124 out of 35,182 in people  3 months ago

Hi nijolechu.You are right.Sometimes even most priced things are worse than a normal one sold in street side.Error can occur anywhere.The only thing we can trust is ourselves to make the right judgment.Anyways thanks for your response..
