| Yeah yeah, I'm familiar with that concept of something being worth "whatever people are willing to pay for it". After all, I am but one of the millions of sheep who bought their wives diamond engagement rings when getting engaged. Of course, on the other hand, a diamond engagement ring has some tradition behind it that makes it a de facto necessity.

And this makes a canopy for Joe's prize heli any less important how?

| In stark contrast, paying $220 for a painted canopy when you can purchase one that is almost as good for $75 to $120 is just plain dumb, with or without doing "research" beforehand.

Please explain, very clearly, why it is dumb, and back your sentiment up with facts, rather than "it's my opinion". Because if you don't, then it's nothing more than YOUR opinion, and you know what everyone says about those. You're stating it as fact, and it's evident you believe it, as you went so far as to create a "boycott" thread.

| Besides, what kind of "research" did you have in mind?
|
Well, what if someone eyeballs both canopies and decides that while even if the more expensive canopy is slightly better in the quality department, that it's worth double the price? Are they then still an idiot?

| If someone could prove that InsaneCanopies canopies were more durable (instead of doling out that horsesh|t about "clear coat quality", or that they were lighter, or that they...I don't know...prevented engine overheating, then yeah, that kind of research would transform the sucker being ripped-off into the educated buyer making a wise decision. I have yet to hear of any such benefits from purchasing an InsaneCanopy.

I'm sure, since you seem so obsessed with this topic, that it would benefit you to purchase one of each, and run both through some objective testing to confirm your assertions. Afterall, you'd gain credibility and something to actually base your "boycott" on, wouldn't you?

| The sole reason I hear is that they have nicer paint jobs. Yeah, they do--they're a little nicer. But try to remember that it's a slightly nicer paint job that's going onto a toy helicopter, not a Harley Davidson.

Did you ever think that maybe Joe's heli is as valuable to him as John's Harley is to him? Are you saying that it's dumb to spend $200 on a nicely painted lid for your heli, but it's perfectly ok to spend 2K on a custom painted tank and fenders for your Softail?
Let me repeat my other question, which you failed to answer. Do you think Dave Yost was ripping people off when he was in business?
