What a stupid thread this is! It just goes round and round and round and round in circles

And Dkatz has to answer every single g*d d*mn reply. And they are starting to get silly - the discussion about pricing, coming from a company that's had to cut back significantly, was struggling to make money and Dkatz is telling us why they went wrong by attempting to increase margins to make more money? Seriously, I'd never employ someone like Dkatz in a million years. He'd drive everyone out of my company.
I find it funny though. Here am I sitting here, as a long standing B&O customer, loving my BS8 and they are telling me how poor it is. I didn't know I so clueless. I only work for some of the biggest tech magazine brands in the world. I knew I was a failure.
The point is that B&O should make money off their products and I am sure they did off the BS1 and BS3, but not nearly the profit margin they are making of the BS8 which costs almost twice as much as the BS3 and almost as much as the BS1. My point is they could have made a huge amount of money selling the BS8 for half the price, they didn't transfer their 50 times savings in labour manufacturing cost to the consumer. They sold it for almost the same price as the BS1 yet made a hell of a lot more profit.
From a business perspective it's great, but from a consumer standpoint it's a ripoff that a company should be so greedy as to charge such a ridiculous price for something that cost them a lot less than their equivilent danish or czech made unit to make yet don't charge much less!
The forum wouldn't go on for as long as it had if everyone had answered and replied to every question that I posed as I did to theirs! The fact that I am repeating myself constantly and repeating my questions is because most people have only answered the few they felt would justify their point rather than any others that might jeapordize it!
