You mean the one relevant example out of the four options? I took a look at bhphoto.com and searched for Gitzo legs. They range in price from $375 to $940.

So that's your rationale? What about people who buy big SLRs they don't really know how to use? Japanese knives? SUVs they never take off road? Sports cars that never see action above 75mp? High end...
