Never said you were, nothing wrong with you thinking it's over priced. But as I've said many, many times, it's relative and calling people sheep, IQ deficient etc. for thinking differently is your problem. And don't say you didn't.
You stated clearly that you think it's a rip-off and insulted people that bought it. Unless you would have insulted them even if they agreed with you, you did so because they hold a different opinion to you.
Then try searching for replacement bands or links. A Rolex explorer replacement metal strap retails at around $900 (US) where I'm from. In terms of quality, the apple metal band is actually, in my opinion better.
[QUOTE="RuffyYoshi, post: 21779828, member: 877392" ] Well then you're gonna be here for a while cuz you will not see apologies from me, so bring some sandwiches. Why you feel the need to still reply and play the white knight is beyond me.
Never asked for an apology, I'm more than content to highlight your juvenile and arrogant approach to those that think differently to yourself. As for white knight, you've missed the point again haven't you? My issue is more with your rudeness and arrogance. If it hadn't been for that, I'd have been more than happy for those that bought this band to defend it themselves.
[QUOTE="RuffyYoshi, post: 21779828, member: 877392" ] I'M FULLY AWARE that some people have massive income so it's not an issue for them, but that doesn't justify the price, nor does it make them less foolish for spending so much on such a product, if anything to me it says they don't appreciate the money they get and throw it around like it grows on trees. If they wanna throw it around give it to people who might need that money they spent on a ****ing metal band!

Oh so your the moral police and have the right to tell everyone how they should spend their money? It has nothing to do with massive income, it's free income that matters. Depeneding on how someone lives, an individual with a modest income can have quite a substantial free income.
Most free income that is spent is spent frivolously. But you've decided someone that buys this strap is to be insulted. Does that also apply to people that buy alcohol, coffee, designer clothes, perfume, jewellery etc. All those items have MASSIVE mark-ups. The fact most people do appreciate the money they earn and spend their free income on things they enjoy. As for giving their money away to those in need, well, unless your'e a monk, your a hypocrite , because I can guarantee their is someone in the world that would benefit more from the money that supports your lifestyle.
[QUOTE="RuffyYoshi, post: 21779828, member: 877392" ] Maybe I have to repeat myself because you don't get that you're protecting people who spend a fortune on an item that is waaay beyond the price it's actually worth and making themselves look like fools. Regardless of their income.[/QUOTE]
I'm defending peoples right to spend their money how they wish without being insulted by someone just because they have a different view.
[QUOTE="RuffyYoshi, post: 21779828, member: 877392" ]Don't you think it's time to screw off? I sure do! [/QUOTE]
I just can't, not only is this fun, but also every time you post something you highlight the intellectual shallowness of your argument. I don't really need to say anything, I just need to keep you posting.[/QUOTE]
You spent all this time highlighting the attitude of a random guy who is upset over overpriced Apple products on the internet?
