... but I'm posting it anyway. I was searching the Internet for "overpriced tents" and was surprised that I couldn't find any forums that had a discussion on the topic. I know it's really subjective because some of the high end tents, most notably (IMO) Hilleberg, are supposedly made of the best components available, but I just can't see me spending $600+ on a solo tent. I understand that quality usually costs a bit more, but... really?
Anyway, that got me to thinking about other camping gear and some of the stuff I've seen that made me cringe when I saw their prices. Just about anything from Snow Peak instantly comes to mind, especially their tables. Is their quality really worth what they're asking? Or can it be that I'm just too poor and think that $330 for a 3-foot by 2-foot bamboo table is just ridiculous?
So... what I'm asking here is what do you all think about various companies and the money they want for their products? Any that you instantly rule out? Some that stand out as the best bang for the buck?
