Is it fair for the building owner in NYC to charge $2,700.00 for a studio apartment? I know from my life experience, it's a lot to pay but if you want that apartment, that watch, that dinner, you pay...and in New York City, if you don't pay, there are 1000 people lined up behind you to pay.

Spend a day on the NY Subway and tell me why you pay good money to ride in a stinky subway, full of trash?! lol - that's more over priced that a Used SS Daytona.

As you said, the OP wasn't even "buying", it sounds like he was looking...that's fine, but don't lecture the sales associate on how much she is charging - I am sure she couldn't care less what the 150th person of the day who came in to ask about the SS Daytona had to say about the price. All she cares about is the one that says, "I'll take it, here is my Credit Card".

A NYC apartment is intrinsically worth more than an apt in the boonies. A SS Daytona bought from a NYC dealer is NOT instrinsically worth more than a SS Daytona bought from the boonies.

So your logic doesn't make any sense.

And you may argue that Torneau pays a lot more for their space than the AD in suburbia - yes, that's true. But the sheer volume of sales will offset that. You don't NEED to raise prices 50% to cover that.

And you can lecture the saleslady, she represents the company. Nothing personal, it's all business.
