too expensive for what it can do but will last forever

As far as I'm concerned, this is contradictory; if something is going to last forever, and not ridiculously overpriced, then it's worth the premium.

i think it's worth the price, but some people don't think as far. they just compare specs and say "this chinesium phone scores 2 points better in some benchmark and costs 200€" not knowing why it's that cheap in the first place. old toyotas are still worth something for a reason.

I mean, they're not even that expensive to begin with.

Agreed. They're statement was very subjective, so it's kind of hard to argue with that metric.
