Why does how much money someone is willing to pay for a product have any correlation on their intelligence? Sounds like their paint jobs are done correctly and took a lot of skill to get right. If people find value in that, don't knock their intelligence!
Because it's just downright stupid to pay too much for anything. Quality of the product does not improve after the paint job. It might generate some value for the user if it makes him/her feel like he/she looks better now etc. But to double the price for that, come on. Some Jersey Shore **** going on in here.
As you can see, the majority agrees:
