Anyone still thinking pixel 3 is overpriced?

[mumratron]

To get more market share I think they should of dropped the price to 700-ish or lower

I'll be honest....I don't care what Flossy thinks. His reviews are good, like several other YouTubers, bbut once they throw in their own opinion, I stop listening.

Is the phone overpriced...yeah. But it could be worse. It could be competing against the iPhone or Note 9 in terms of price.

I love my Pixel 3 XL, but I do think it is overpriced. Pretty much all phones are overpriced these days.

Everything goes up, 20 years ago Milk was $1 a gallon, gas was $1.20 a gallon and a 20oz Soda was .75¢. But when the phones are all in the same range one cannot say it's overpriced without knowing cost for the manufacturer to build the phone. Is it not worth it to you is a different argument that only you can decide. I for one love mine. But I can't answer for you. Get what you love and love what you get.

I would have thrown printer ink into the mix....lol

You bring up a very good point about the price, and especially about the YouTube reviewer's opinion. As soon as reviewers start giving their own opinions on a phone, I tune out. I may even switch channels.

I had to pay more for it than I would have liked, but I have a difficult time saying it is over-priced without some sales data. How many more units would they sell if the price was lowered by $100. My guess is not enough to make up for the lower price -- so therefore not over-priced.

The argument being made here, that the price should be tightly tied to the included features, is fallacious. The only part of pricing that is related to the cost of goods (how much it costs to build the device) is in setting a floor price, that is the lowest price you could sell it for and make a profit. The rest of the price is then perceived value. Buying phones is much more of an emotional decision than most folks will admit. After selecting/buying a phone, people then reverse engineer their decision making.

My guess is, that if we all acted like economic buyers, totally rational, none of us would have a current generation phone.

I agree

My Pixel 3 XL isn't an overpriced phone.

And that's because what I actually have is an excellent pocket computer that includes a top flight camera and just happens to have a phone in it!

And for that I was more than happy to drop a grand.

I think 'dream' is the right term lol

Mine is underpriced at MSRP. After I use a phone the value goes up.

Price jumps WAYY beyond normal inflation.... and we all know it.

You mean normal inflation of consumer goods, not the actual inflation of consumer electronic components, right?

 

[Itsa_Me_Mario]

This is a comparison of flagship phone pricing that I put together a bit ago:



"As you can see, the average price of flagships crossed $250 between 2014 and 2015 and is now averaging over $350 and the average price of non-flagships crossed $250 between 2016 and 2017 and is now averaging over $281. There is a problem with the data in that it only includes Samsung and Apple phones, with 1 Google phone. Adding in other OEM's would make the data better. And the BOM is not an all inclusive number, so you cannot calculate margin off of it."

 

[Colin Ting]

Yeah, it is.
