    Yep I agree. I don’t think he was saying that being pricier guarantees its better quality, just that something better quality may be worth it even if it is pricier.

    I would consider repair and upgrade-ability to be a part of quality.

      There are lots of places where I would pay for better quality but don’t because I can’t tell if there is any such thing

        100% my problem. My mom bought a sewing machine about 4 decades ago and it still works to this day. It cost her a fortune, but it paid off. Sewing machines nowadays have all kinds of fancy electronics in there and if it fails, you’re fucked. I don’t even know if paying more really gets you a better quality sewing machine…
