Not always, but sometimes you do get what you pay for.

If one does a little research, one can always find a great price on a great product.

Mostly.

Low price doesn't always mean low quality, but it could mean a challenge to high-end products.+5

There are occasionally cases where what you pay for is what you get, however you can often find good quality at lower prices if you look around a bit. On the other hand, sometimes you are only paying for a name or even paying and getting the shaft. As an example, in terms of vehicles I've seen some luxury models that have some really boneheaded recalls (as in things that I'm wondering what the engineers were smoking when they designed it and/or how it left the factory floor without ANYONE noticing a part was missing), yet I've also seen the low end models of some vehicles have no recalls and be very well built.

I have had problems with very well known brands and they are high end .. endless break downs and bits shitting themselves even though they had been replaced, yet I have had lower end Brands that have lasted 10 years or more and never given one bit of trouble ... so its the luck of the draw as far as I can see

Yeah you are right.

Ussually, but sometime manufactures cut profits to get consumers interested in their products, then raise their prices with later product revisions.

No. Don't be a sucker. Just because it is expensive does nto mean it is good.

High price means a lot of markup usually. . Sometimes the price and quality correlate, but often they don't. . Sometimes the price is made higher on purpose so that people will buy it because of the high price, believing it's thus of higher quality or just snobbish. .

No. Sometimes the really expensive stuff breaks down or otherwise becomes worthless long before the cheapo stuff you can find. The advantage of the cheap stuff is that in those cases where they really are poor quality, you can throw them out and buy new ones and still you'll spend less. I had an expensive, well known brand of DVD player and it packed up within a year - and repairing it would have cost more than replacing it. So I bought the cheapest brand I could find - it's still going strong and does everything the expensive one did. Similarly I bought a set of cheap drinking glasses at 5 for €2, and they lasted more than a set of expensive ones I received as a gift which broke really easily. In some cases, the cheaper stuff is actually better. For instance food - over here I can get really inexpensive veggies from the market which are fresher and MUCH tastier than the supermarket brands which look more beautiful, cost several times as much but taste bland.

There is no hard and fast rule. Often though, I've noticed that a lot of higher prices are attached to prestige, or perceived as such. A Mercedes Benz handles just as well as a volkswagen.

I really depends on what you are buying and what you want to use it for. If you want to use it once, then never again, go cheap. If you want something that you'll use every day and expect it to work day in and day out, buy quality. The highest quality will be more expensive, but not neccisarily the MOST expensive.
-
Not always but often enough. Low quality is just about always cheap. Occasionally, high quality can be bought at a discounted price. Low quality at a high price usually does not sell unless the buyer is completely out of it.

I don't think so! For i think sometimes there must be some low cost price thing can also at high quality while high price thing sometimes at low quality. Just i bought a real watch at the mall and it broke out just in a few months, it cost me too much money, but i bought a replica brand watch at abwatch.com last week and it feels more solid and strong than the real one!
