Don't assume everyone worries about their budget. We live in a world of 6-figure cars as commonplace, families of 3 in 6000 foot homes, and why not?

Obviously you don't live in Miami...6 figure cars are certainly commonplace here.

I think you are right in that they are trying to keep costs down. But they are already pretty cheap when compared to the "non-stick" pans you can buy now. You'd think there would be plenty of people who wouldn't mind paying the extra cost.

It would not be impossible. It would not be the least expensive way to do it.

Quite likely to be just economies of scale...more people might need a queen over a full size and that will bring the prices down for that size generally..

Btw, I'm buying one a month, as I can afford them, so as to have one and at least one spare for each chair and the car. Depending on how many seats you want to protect, that could add up. Might explain the ten that someone bought.

Don't know. We're pretty rural and out-of-the-way, so don't have traffic we don't expect.

Because different retailers sell products for different prices. It might be higher, or it might be lower. Have you never been shopping?

Thanks for your question J. Some folks have more than 12 budget categories and so need more envelopes. Others purchase extra sets to give as gifts. Still others are participating in Dave Ramsey's FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY and are splitting the cost of several sets with others in their FPU group.

Andrew, few of us spend time on ice blocks, horseshoes or ditto machines any more, and that didn't wreck the economy. On the plus side, think of all the oil that'll be saved from not shipping little plastic things from the other side of the planet. There is one being developed, in Massachusetts, that'll make electronics (circuitry). China's 3D printing housing and one's being printed in Amsterdam. Whoosh! Time flies!

And another way for consumers to get ripped off. Blaming the water floods in Taiwane is nonesense IMO. In 2012, we will have an overflood of harddrives, too many of them with not enough people wanting them. When this happends the prices should go down a lot.

They have an ok sub. Including it would raise the cost. Besides, many people are picky about their subs. Personally, I think there are better subs out there for the money.

I don't know, and from what I've heard, motors run more efficiently on 220V.It's probably so we have to purchase more AC in order to make the rich, richer.

Most people are picking up 1.5-2 MPG's on average. Some have reported as high as 3 to us, others have only gained 1. A lot of it has to do with driving style, as well. -Josh

I hear the debates on this and both sides have valid points. For my wife and I, we can't afford to just replace everything each year. Major things like our cars and electronics we get the extended warranty. Just knowing they are covered is well worth the little we pay and we have found the square trade to very well worth it. For us its a question of not having to worry if something goes wrong. Hope that helps.

who cares? it is the best product at the price - that is what economics is all about. GM certainly does not make one, not even one subsidized by our tax dollars.

I have the same concern. Companies like Amazon need to start taking the lead and use some of their substantial economic might to mitigate these kinds of issues in a global economy of risk. Jeff Bazos would make an international and national business and political coup by stating plainly that his company would oversee quality and security concerns of this nature. I'm a worried parent and, frankly, I don't believe anyone in the United States has an answer to our mutual question: is this toy deadly or dangerous to the life and future of my child? C'mon Bazos, you are an innovator. Help us and make yourself even MORE successful!Mark DiGiacomTamp, Florida I have the same concern.

My personal opinion...I wouldn't. My home is not the fanciest or the worst, but I think there are other options out there that would look more finished if out in the open.
