[Elecraft] Giving Up

[KENT TRIMBLE]

Not so, Doug.

My K3, including accessories and filters, was $4,500 in 2007. That's 
$5,722 in today's dollars.

A K4 with all its advanced technology at $4,600 (your quote) is a steal 
compared to a K3.

The word "expensive" can be applied to the K4 (or any product) only when 
answering the question, "compared to what?"  Otherwise it has no 
meaning.  Nothing is expensive or inexpensive on its own.  The word has 
relevance only when comparing the price of two or more products.
