Title: Hello from Barcelona!
Post by: juguerre on Sat, 12 April 2014, 15:23:08
Hi all!
Just let you know that before that post I already bought 3 keyboards ... This is insane!  :p
Anyway as some one write here, is incredible how you guys make me think that 200$ for a keyboard is pretty normal  :))
So, happy to be a new member (despite what my wife says ...)

Cheers!

Nice to meet you!  ;D I remember when I thought spending $100 on a keyboard was a lot.

Value of things is in the eye of the beholder, that is behavioral economics, that's a fact. However, I have been at GH for almost 2 years now, and I still think $200 is NOT normal for a keyboard. It is not an opinion, it is a matter of direct comparison between products and services you need, or want, for you, and your family. Simple basic economy. And there is no excuse for that.
