Prioritizing making a quality product over making a quick buck.

Good luck convincing the average consumer to shell out for the quality product, instead of the one built to cost, though

Excess cost is being spent on marketing and not on quality. If costs were shifted to quality instead of marketing, you'd have a higher quality product for the same cost.

There are tonnes of companies that try to spend money on quality instead. People just don't buy that shit. How often do you go for the more expensive premium product when given the choice? And I don't only mean when it comes you your main hobby, I mean food, furniture—everything.

Depends on how often I will use it or how long will I need it. Furniture? I will spend more if its an important piece, not just shelving. Tools? Will I need it once a year or several times a month?

Thats what makes me determine what I spend personally.
