Ah! The classic boner curve! ;)
That must be why my mom’s cancer medicine cost so much.
But it’s true; I would have been happy to pay double, if it had worked.
Hi,
I started following your blog recently and its awesome..I was wondering how you are creating this..are you using illustrator or just scanning it ?
This is how pricing is done for all the high-end brand-name things within the realm of fashion, including eye glasses frames.

Ah, but this curve is useful. Observe:
1) Purchase random article of clothing at generic discount department store (or goodwill)
2) Buy iron-on patch bearing logo of brand-name item
3) Apply patch using iron
Now others will perceive the value of your clothing to be much higher than it actually is!
[Except for the people who recognize random article of clothing, but they won't speak up for fear of being discovered as generic discount department store (or goodwill) shoppers]
