Using a component or a feature that increases the production cost of a product by 45 dollars is a

excuse to charge a $50 premium over the competition. Paying a large premium for a feature that actually costs a large premium to implement is reasonable-- paying a large premium for a feature that adds very little to the production cost but makes the item more "fashionable," IMHO, is douchebaggery.
