I don't know what's not fair about that... A company decides how much they are going to sell an item for, and you either agree and buy, or disagree and not buy.
Same goes for computers, cars, and other commodities!
If Chevrolet would have started selling their corvettes for $500 new price,they might not have existed today!
You pay for being an early adopter. You know you pay for paving the way for the market following you, thousands of people behind you buying perhaps a second gen, cheaper and better, that would not have been able to buy it at that price, if it wheren't for the early adopters that invested their hard earned cash to support a company stamping out a new design on the market!
I paid for the netbook craze! I had the very second model of the second batch of netbooks from Asus; all the while nowadays you can get a netbook that is twice as fast, lasts twice as long on batteries, and costs less than the purchase price of my old netbook!
I knew this was going to happen...
Yet you pay if you want to be one of those that introduces new gadgets to your friends and receives fame for it!
Your reward is fame, being an early adopter and having what no one else yet has, and the satisfaction that your dollars help fund a (potential) mass market!
It's much like people investing their fortune to get the first cure for aids virus injected.
It's only natural that when you buy things later, you'll always get them better.
Very few times in history did an item degrade in quality over time.
(like antique furniture, a car's building materials, handcrafted musical instruments are being replaced by more cheaper, less durable industrial designs)....
But most of the time,and the general rule is, that items and designs only tend to get better and improved over time, and building materials decrease in price where possible (eg: replace car bumpers from steel-chrome to plastic).
