I wonder what the term 'overpriced' means then if everything is worth exactly its selling price (assuming it sells)? Isn't it possible to take some sort of reasonable and dispassionate look at things and determine at least a reasonable range of relative value? If someone came out with a K1000 clone tomorrow that sold for $5000...and it sold well somehow (it is possible!), couldn't we all agree nonetheless that it was overpriced? One could begin by comparing the build quality, features, etc with that of an LX or MX or whatever and determine that it wasn't worth it. I guess I'll stop before starting another anti-Marxist thread...I guess I just can't believe it's impossible to speak at all about value or about something being overpriced in terms other than whether it happens to have sold in some particular and in many ways artificial context.
