Rant: When will overpriced accessories stop?!

[Ig_bronco]

This is absolutely ridiculous.. I've said it before and will say it again... When will People stop paying companies a outrageous sum for parts that shouldnt cost more than 50$? Point being these:

I got all excited for foot rests then saw the price 170$ get the f*%# outta here. IT'S A FOOT REST. Rugged ridge will have a set out soon if not now for a quarter of that price.
This one Is probably branding. However, I've seen it on other products and it grinds my gears eventually I forsee it killing the aftermarket, but then again an idiot is born everyday. Rant over

You should see the price of the mudflaps. I know inflation is high but the price of those is beyond stupid.

It won't change. The Bronco is a new enthusiast vehicle. Accessories are 99% wants, not needs. You want it? You are going to pay. Chinese crap will soon be flooding the market so be careful what you wish for.

If there are enough people willing to pay at a certain price point - that is the value of that item.

Just don’t buy it

Probably not a good idea to rest your foot outside the vehicle while driving it. You want the price of accessories down? Don't buy them, sooner or later, they will cut the price due to low demand.

Soon. The Chinese suppliers are going full send right now for stuff.

$55 dollar sunshades, cheap steps / rock rails, and lots of other accessoriesnare already available.

Overpriced accessories will stop as soon as you purchase the last accessory needed to complete your ride!

Those are spendy. Follow them on social and ask for a coupon code. I've got a box full of accessories ready to install. Most have been from sponsors on this forum and have received a coupon code for all purchases. It helps!

And most the products are the same or better quality then the over priced products.

The market will ALWAYS decide the fate of products. If there are opportunities for a new player to enter and win share, it will happen. If not, you pay the piper or you do without. It's economics 101.

Been to a restaurant lately??

I'm on the hook for $315 for a pair of 1 gallon Rotopax cans and mount... Never again
Ugh!

 

[MayhemMike]

Agreed. Hunk of plastic cost how much? As a young man I would have slapped down the money and scratched my accessories itch. As a geezer, I shake my head and say “ nope”.

Holy smokes! $185 for just the front foot rests? Insane.
