Umm, AFAICS value includes quality eg. the thing which is the best value isn't usually the cheapest - it's generally mid-range and lasts for longer than average.

Yes, value and quality are linked. Cheapest is usually nastiest.

The question was mostly to see which end of the scale influences thinking - Dyson vacuum cleaners, for example, are really good IMO. But they're £200-300. Which means that you're 'average' vacuum cleaner at £50-80 which does the job, just maybe not as well would be the 'value' choice.

On the other hand, Dysons rock the proverbial 'fat one'. And look cool while doing it. ;-)

Well, yes, they're rather good.

But the question stands, would you buy a dyson at £250 or a 'standard' at £80?

I _did_ buy a dyson for my mum, although I did get a discount.

I feel that value and value are part of the same thing, it all depends on what you are buying and who/what you are buying it for.

It's not as binary as that :)

Well yes, I'd noticed that value and value are part of the same thing too ;-).

Where did the discount come from?

:p you know what I mean, value and the other one...


The discount came because I used to work as a warehouse assistant for a heating and plumbing firm.

don't anymore so no more discount.
