Costliest is the cheapest

That is kind of like "you get what you pay for"... sometimes I think the quality of some things are less of the cheaper items. Not always.. but sometimes.

yes when we opt for a costly thing then that give twice return when we go for a cheper one.Its better take a branded or good one which can give lifetime good use.Better not to go withthe cheap ones as they worn out early and it becomes a twice loss when we buy another one.

I honestly don't think that this is a generalization that you can make with everything because there are a lot of things that you can buy where it is cheaper to buy the off brands and they perform just as well as the name brand or more expensive products. With that said, it has been my experience that the only way to know which is going to work the best for you is with a process of trial and error.

You know that is really something that is very true. Cost is rarely if ever an indicator of actual quality. There are a lot of companies who after a while because of the reputation they have decide to put a substandard product out there, at a bit higher price. Naturally a lot of people swallow the bait. Then there are just going to be many people who are going to more than disappointed with the actual quality of the products. So yeah, something about the cost is really frustrating to say the least. I think that a middling price is likely something where you're going to get the best indicator of quality. Cheap can equal cheap as well. Interestingly enough, the older technology tends to work a lot better than the newer more costly stuff. We tend to get distracted by all of the bells and whistles and forget the actual quality of the situation.

It is difficult to generalize, because you can have good surprises with cheap products. I bought a pack of 4 AA batteries for my camera with no brand -- more exactly a completely unknown brand -- in a discount shop, and I noticed they were very good. There was a factory reference on the pack, I looked online, and saw that it was a factory producing Duracell batteries. These ones, sold with no brand, were 3 times cheaper, and equals in quality.

In some cases, yes, in some cases, no you can get some good quality at a fraction of branded one's cost. Though in my experience, most of the time, you do get what you pay for. I bought a bicycle for my daughter for her 3rd birthday from Disney brand. It was costing more than 3000 INR. Before she could actually learn riding, our house guest broke it completely. So I bought her another one for her fourth birthday. I got it from Vishal at 1400 INR and boy, it is very bad. It didn't work from the beginning, I had to repair it every other week or so. I just wanted to buy the cheapest one thinking she is going to outgrow it very soon and I will have to buy her a more suited one in a year or two anyway. I regret that decision as the trouble the cheaper one caused is too much. The one I bought previously would still have been good had it not been carelessly dropped, hit and well majorly abused by our young house guest.

I believe that there is an optimum price for every product or service for a minimum guaranteed performance. Hard bargains and aggressively priced items may be useful only over a limited period of time. The choice of course is always complex. There are a number of factors influencing the buying, affordability for a cross section of people being the most important one. As for myself, as long as I can afford, I would like to go with reputed brands with track record of the manufacturer. Because that's the only assurance about cost vs quality balance. It is impossible for any one to gauge the real price of each & every product and hence reliance on manufacturer's backing is some comfort.

i dont think so if you buy a branded it will be nice.
