I suppose we all have a threshold on spending. Some find value in a $6k watch while others may like the look, but don't see it as anything more than a tool to tell time (..hence the decision to buy a knock-off). There are some material goods that I am unwilling to represent as the real thing (..wheels, clothing, etc.), but there are other things that I just wouldn't pay the premium for, and would be willing to buy the knock-off item (..aerodynamic parts for cars, etc.). It's largely a value assessment.
