I think the market does a good job of determining price/value. I find it interesting that for a set that has an MSRP of $400, the price that people mention paying for it is 40%-50% off. If something needs that steep a discount in order to sell, then it is priced way too high to begin with.
Some companies are figuring that out. I heard one of the car companies is going to stop discounting its cars and focus on better service and quality. Hmm. Do they know something?
