Almost.
See, if I can have an $80-$100 dollar jersey for $40 (I mean literally the exact same jersey that sold for $80-$100),
I don't see the need to get the 2012 version of the same jersey if the 2011 version (which is identical) would only
cost me 40-50% of the 2012.
As far as "ridiculous" amounts, that's relative. I have a full Dura-Ace 7800 Drivetrain for the cost of a 105 Drivetrain
pretty much. Is that ridiculous or prudent? Or should I have gone with Microshift? Or 2300? Or Sora? I buy my bike
parts the same way. I don't think I've paid MSRP for anything on my bike.

Nothing wrong with that at all.
