Just
as an example: a garden fork costing $39 at Bunnings was $72 at the
nursery! Same brand, same size, same everything. Vastly different price!

that really only means the fork is worth $72 but you got it cheaper. by this
point everyone knows that bunnings (and so forth) do that. bringing down the
public's expectations of what things are actually "worth" is part of the
problem.

if i want cheap tools, i buy second-hand anyway. my forks were a few dollars
each :-) (probably that's all they're "worth", too g)
