The only one that I can think of is jewelery. Inspired by last nights

s of =A320m for 2 quite large stones (40 - 50 karrats) and a much smaller

ink diamond broach worth similar. So here we have an arena where size is

guarantee of value and the price range is infinitely larger

Is there any other type of product where the range in price from cheapest=
-dearest is so big?

We were invited to an evening with Meridian and Dynaudio on tuesday, and =
jolly good fun it was, too.

However, it struck me that one can go into Richer Sounds, and buy a pair =
of speakers for, say, =A350. Alternatively, the most expensive pair I've
he=
ard to date was the Dynaudio Evidence Master, which cost a cool =A351,000
p=
er pair.

I'm hard pressed to think of ANY other type of new, commodity, purchase w=
here you get a range of 1,000-fold from the cheapest to the most expensive.

New cars, for instance, start at around the =A35k mark for a Perodua thin=
gy... but the most expensive new cars are around the =A3300k mark -
"only" =
60 times more expensive...

Laptops are even more closely bunched.... an "el cheapo end of
line", but=
nonetheless new, laptop can be had for =A3350... but you're hard pressed t=
o find anything on the market for more than 20 times that.


Anything? Boats, maybe?
