I understand what you're getting at, but do people actually buy those items with the understanding that they are getting something of a higher quality? If you pay $2 for headphones and all the ones in the store cost $10+, it's hard to argue that you thought the quality was going to be higher.
I know we're in the tech bubble so most of us probably do research before buying anything online, that's why I ask.
Yeah those don't bother me too much, you pretty much know ahead of time when you buy super cheap crappy products. Counterfeits are the real problem, and to an only slightly lesser extent fake reviews.
> it's hard to argue that you thought the quality was going to be higher.
Oh, but argue people will!
Some people have a fairly un-nuanced view and assume that instead of the cheaper option being a cheap knockoff the more expensive ones are attempting to rip them off (because if one company can offer X for Y, anyone asking more is creaming extra profit). And some pretend to be that naive when it comes to refund/replacement/negative-review-designed-to-encourage-an-out-of-warranty-replacement/refund time.
