He does have a point but I never said I was going to buy the over inflated rig with steering wheel, pedals, and what not that aren't even as good as what I have. Now we're getting into a specific instance when my comment was more to the general consensus and feeling people have toward boutique rigs.
Remember that what someone pays is relative. To you that 8000 dollar rig may be overpriced, and it may well be. But to someone who is looking just for that it might not be if they can afford it. Is a Bently worth $300,000? No. But it doesn't mean it doesn't present a value to people who can afford it. Its all relative.
many might think I'm a tool for buying a VisionRacer. While that may be, it was the rig I wanted, with the look I wanted, and the modding ability I wanted. I paid what I thought it was worth, to me. Again relative as many will think the VR3 is crap. Thats fine, because to you it may be.
And as far as him charging 8000 for something that costs him 3000 is a little silly. He has to make them, have a facility to sell them, store them, employees, insurance, etc, etc, etc. I mean, sometimes I wonder if people think about this. this guy isn't getting rich off this, and he has a passion for what he does. I think the world of our hobby is better off for people like this who provide such services. Or should everything be made of wood?
hehe.
