It's not an extra word used to sound smart, it's a phrase used in marketing to determine the target price and is just as valid as 'focus group' and other phrases used in various industries. The fact that consumers now use 'price point' means that they have heard it enough to know what it stands for, from reading it in print.

I've always been tempted to post that complaint as well--glad you went first. It's a little like "I'm supportive of......." which means "I support."

It has nothing to do with "extra words to sound smart" and everything to do with Psychology. http://www.openforum.com/articles/the-psychology-behind-making-sales-and-setting-price-points-nora-dunn

Swerd Audioholic Warlord Jun 21, 2011 #8 We've heard the phrase "Every man has his price". But I'm not sure that saying "Every man has his price point" adds anything. Another buzzword that makes me cringe when I hear it is "functionality". Adding syllables does not add meaning to the word "function".

What does this have to do with speakers? Just funning with you. Retired and R2R is being restored. Waiting on it like a little kid. I hope my Price Point and the person with my Revox thinks the same way. I need more then one word to sound smart.

zieglj01 Audioholic Spartan Jun 21, 2011 #10 To me it is not a big deal, one way or the other. All I want to do, is buy what I can afford - and then, enjoy what I buy. Life is too short, to worry about something (words), that will not go away.

H highfigh Seriously, I have no life. Jun 22, 2011 #13 The origin of 'Price point' is probably from manufacturers (marketing people, really) when they set the selling price of their product. It made the transition from industry to consumer and it's not going anywhere, anytime soon.

AcuDefTechGuy said: So what word would you like for EVERYONE to use? What is your BUDGET? What is your PRICE RANGE? Click to expand... Exactly. It is not only meaningful, it is extremely useful to speak of price points. When someone asks about what speakers to get, it is completely useless to tell them to get Magnepan 1.7 speakers if the person only has $400 to spend on a pair of speakers. Knowing the person's price point, or budget, or whatever one wants to call it, is essential for the advice to be of use.

cpp Audioholic Ninja Jun 22, 2011 #15 I person request advice on products. Without having some idea of their budget/price point advice would be pure meaningless. Only the buyer knows his budget, we can't read his mind.
