Let's start with the obvious.

I wish your English expression were more obvious. Wading through the
verbiage I think what it is you are trying to say is:-
1. People will always pay for status symbols.
2. It's no use 'borgs' complaining about people getting ripped-off as
those being ripped-off have more money than sense.
3. Amongst all the overpriced junk some items do give big value for big
money (this last point is far from clear though)
4. You spend far too much time reading posts on newsgroups written by
borgs.
5. You should return to adult education English expression classes.

Kissy Kissy Ayn M

PS: On one point I think we'd agree. To achieve decent outcomes in
something like analogue engineering processes, such as the design and
manufacture of say, a turntable/arm/cartridge that's state of the art,
large amounts of money must be spent.
