One aspect of modern life I find fascinating is the global capacity to over produce consumer goods. This over production is what leads to Sierra Trading Post, Campmor, REI Outlet, Ebay and many others. It's great for the consumer as we can buy goods for a lot less than at regular retail by being patient and waiting for online deals.

I've found that the higher priced brands are generally of better quality than the more generic brands. For example, Patagonia clothing is indeed a cut above most other brands. That said, the quality difference alone is not enough to justify the higher prices, a large part of the higher price is just in the brand name. My Patagonia clothing is from thrift stores.
