Seriously who care about these high price melons? it's not that the country decide to only sell expensive melon and make the whole people suffer for not being able to eat regular melon.
Just buy what you could afford to. The money is only ridiculous for people with regular salary. Rich people probably see $200 like $2.

Indeed.
Various (shared) aspects of East Asian cultures make Asians far more vulnerable to Veblen goods.
If I went to Japan and tried to sell my own shit for ¥1, the japs wouldn't touch it. If I tried to sell it for ¥100,000, there'd be a stampede of salarymen brawling with each other for an opportunity to buy such exclusive, high quality shit.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. As if this happens only in East Asia.

That's why I said "far more vulnerable" instead of "the only ones who are vulnerable".

I'm afraid you underestimate the power of products such as those of Apple's.

Apple is an exception to the rule; they've managed to corner the hipster market with their superior advertising skills.
And as it happens, Macs are becoming very popular in Japan. If Apple were a Japanese company, I'm sure every Jap would have one.

It would depend on the rich person in question.
Some wealthy people became that way partly because they were frugal and invested their money vs spend it on bling.kudichan said:

Even Apple is not this over priced if you go buy an android pad with the same specs as the ipad it comes to about $200 to $300.
Put together a high end PC with similar specs to the latest Mac pro it's not that much cheaper esp if you actually paid for all the software.In apple's defense they do have very good hardware and software integration ie their products simply work with no tinkering.

All (decent) tablets are overpriced not just those from Apple. The Mac Pro has horrible value for the money. Their decent priced products are the iMac (because comparable screens are near impossible to find) and the MacBook air as anything truly comparable costs the same or more.
Also keep in mind that Apples international prices tend to be much higher than those in the US. Just changing the dollar symbol to a euro symbol makes them pretty damn expensive.

A high-end PC costs around half of a Mac and the Mac will have lower specs...

Well, they are paying for the brand anyways, what it has inside make no difference with PC. At least people who bought those $200 melon are eating the best melon they could ever taste.

Who would eat something that cost that much? It would be better to fly to the origin country and eat it fresh.
Off topic: Is a Mac that much different from a PC? Why they say "it would never be beat by a virus"? Can someone tell me why?
Many programs can't run on Mac, it would be a waste of money...Posted 3 years ago # -

Many programs can't run on Mac, it would be a waste of money...Different OS, that's the only difference. Th only reason why Mac don't get viruses is because there are only a few which work on it. But if someone decides to make viruses for the Mac, it will have that problem too.

Oh... Thank you.
I'll wait for the day it get virus, and laugh at those who insult my PC just because they're rich, so they have to get Macs.Posted 3 years ago # -
I like the misconception of mac-guy who think MAC-OS provide invulnerable protection and much better than PC when it comes to virus attack.
