would it be possible to lower the price?
Well thats a first

Torn between this and Polaris, Price would be the deciding factor
I will need to replace my car soon. If things worked this way, instead of buying the right car in my price range, I'd love to pick something more expensive and ask them to lower the price, because price would be my deciding factor. If only life worked that way.
That's exactly how the market works, sellers gauges the demand, and buyers gauge whether the price is right for them or not.
Or I could try being smart, with an anecdote and come out looking like I don't understand the market.
I don't expect the average internet user to be educated enough to understand basic economics, but I expect them to mind their own business. Here is a cartoon to make it easy for you to understand the basics:
I came up with the anecdote because it was by far the most polite way that I could respond to the absurdity of your comment while resisting the temptation to excoriate your self-centered naiveté. I'm sure that I'm more than twice your age, and am familair with economic theory on a spectrum from Hayek to Marx. Not only do I comprehend the nature of capitalist markets, I'm also mature enough to realize that such markets do not respond to the immature requests of individuals who are entitled, out-of-touch, and unable to comprehend that the world in general does not place them at their needs above all other societal priorities and cannot discern the difference between a free market and a pampering parent. Your utter puerility was only compounded by the condescension with which you alluded to sub-rudimentary and anecdotal economic concepts as if they were a justification of you immature perspective, as opposed to a confirmation of it. Markets respond to socioeconomic forces on a macro level, and then only sluggishly. The notion that one individual entreating a manufacturer to ignore all of the pragmatic factors that affect their pricing, especially in a specialized area where margins are slim, is as impractical as it is self-centered, given that small-scale specialized production allows none of the leeway in pricing made possible by mass-production. I suppose I could chalk this up to the Dunning–Kruger effect, but I was not initially referring to a lack of metacognition, only to a lack of maturity. Your response, however, is classic, as it attempted to impugn my imagined incomprehension with an argument far more cognitively infantile than the perspective that you mistakenly attributed to me. I suppose I should have simply been less polite and suggested that the sooner you learn that the world doesn't care how spoiled you are the better you will be equipped to handle the myriad instances where life will inevitably and utterly ignore your sense of entitlement.
Apparently I'm too young to read all that copy-Pasta.
I would say.
1. Use paras for better readability.
2. IMHO better to compare Marx and Adam Smith, and Hayek with Keynes (but ok I get it, you know 2 of the most famous economist, but they are from a different time, so IMHO it's unfair to compare them, when better comparisons exist)
3. I'm self- centred, immature etc etc etc. Isn't that the market? markets work at individual capacities
4. You have quoted your comprehension of Hayek, but Hayek rejects "planned economies" and proposes individuals are best left to themselves to make "rational choices" in the free market. what you have suggested is a road to serfdom. aka socio-economic factors. In the words of Hayek, it's a "mirage". Seems your comprehension is poor.
5. that brings me to this hobby. Most of which is snake oil.(as is with all hobbies)
6. Canoe keyboard clearly shows the markup these products have, all I said is I feel the price should be lowered.
7. About my entitlement: I never said "lower it for me, or I won't buy it". I have only said I feel like it should be lowered.
8. Any "mature" person "twice" as old as me, should have understood it, and moved on.
9. Assuming you're a male (No sexism) a gentleman minds his own business. It's not classy or respectful to comment on persons you don't know about. I have responded for my own respect.
10. As per the dunning Kruger effect, I'm certainly in the centre (wrt this hobby). Low skills and low confidence, but your "maturity" is certainly at the lower end of skill and higher end of "confidence".
11. what I don't understand is why are all of you flipped? All I said is I think the price can be lowered, and if that's entitlement to you, I would just like to quote Robert Nozick, who has given the Entitlement theory of Justice. In State, utopia and anarchy.
I do not wish to engage with you, a person who cannot mind his own business, isn't worth talking to. I feel like I've hit some sort of sensitive spot for your insecurities. By all means spend that money, spend more. In the consumeristic societies, material wealth is the source of happiness. (though I would say as Marx has said, it leads to alienation, but whatever, I'm on a high end custom keyboard form)
Also for the love of God, make you point quick. All I see is a rant, with an attempt to look cool again, missing the point. I would also like to quote Eric From, that you have the fear of freedom. Stuck in your anachronistic ways, unable to mind your own business.
