It may well be
that we're just out of touch
with the market
which wears
a $12K bracelet
to tell the time
$1,400 shoes to walk about
$90K car to get from point a to b
(point b - being the $175K boat)
and wants
a $16K camera in the glove compartment
along with the $600 gloves

obviously - the market does exist
whether we're members
or not

Fond regards,
George
