But I expect more. If I'm buying a new item, whether a bicycle, computer, a piece of machinery or a tool I'll use, I want something that will work reliably. I've turned down so-called bargains because I wasn't convinced of the quality of the product. And if I buy something unreliable and it breaks down, I'll have to buy it again. In that case, I'll pay twice instead of spending a bit more to get a more dependable item the first time.
