Why would anyone gladly pay a premium when there are other providers offering a “same category” product or service at a significantly lower price?

Prevailing wisdom suggests more often than not, we get what we pay for.

Go to an Apple Store (or Apple.com) and try to negotiate a lower price for any Apple product. Not gonna happen.

i could go on a long riff about this but won’t (because i actually did riff-on but deleted it shortly after it posted).
