This positioning statement (you get what you pay for) possibly created by the marketing folks, is what justifies "boutique brands" considerably higher margins over the competition. The higher margins are also passed thru the distributor. you learn that in business school.
The buyer who is loyal to that particular brand, buys for "value" defined by rareness, perceived exclusiveness, and the many other emotional associations with being a consumer for such boutique brands. Look at Louis Vuitton. If you can't spend $300 for a wallet, then why are you in our boutique store for? LOL.
My god man, what are you doing up at this time of night? O wait....I am too! Never mind....go on ...you were saying?:coffeedrink:

Bejewel that thing in some rhinestones with a hot glue gun and you have a clear winner with our esteemed Expo fashionistas too.

I honestly was not questioning Marlin Crawler
So is zinc dichromate better or comparable to Viking's nickle finish or Warn's galvanized finish?
let me plagarize a bit here
Strength: MOOT point, stronger than the application requires.
Fit and Finish: may not rattle, gold look is nice for bling, better finish than Warn's forging but not satin looking like the Viking
Functionality: equal to the Viking unit, with the ability to mount vertical or horizontal to limit side loading of the shackle screw pin.
Cost: all the functionality for 30% of the cost of the Viking

Sometimes I buy things for no other reason than knowing that a company gives back to a sport/activity/community as much as it benefits from it.
