You don't always get what you paid for.

Most people will say you will get what you paid for.
But it's not true. Take Ebay fees for example. Their fees are high but their customer service sucks plus there's too many restrictions. And don't ever make a mistake in Ebay when listing. They will make you pay fees for your mistake.
My college fees is extremely expensive. Yes I learned a lot from college but when it comes to certain facilities like the toilet (some can't flush) and the computers (if you accidentally move the wire, most of the computers in the room will shut down)
So tell me whether you had any experience about not getting something worth the amount you paid for?

Wow, it does sound like the college could offer better computers for students. I am sorry to hear what you have gone through. I too have noticed that things are not as they use to be. For example, why have we gone to DVDs and CDs when they just get scratched up? VHS lasts a life time. Another example would be toys. They just are not as durable as they use to be. My kids are rough on them. Also, games too. I will never understand why things are upgraded, yet not built as well as in the past. I can say that phones are a lot better, but still, the touch screens get scratched and goodness for bid, should you go without a screen protector..haha. More more paid out, less more put toward building the product. Sad but true!

I always get that. Some stuff I bought from store wasn't do anything as it described it. That was a disappointment. Maybe there is nothing is perfect in this world, but hopefully our purchased items or stuff might improved overtime, and really give us what we paid for is worthwhile.

What we have to remember always is that these producers/sellers would not put their selves where they are bringing out more than what they are receiving. It has always been about profit. Ofcourse I am not questioning the quality of the products im using but im sure even if they tell us that the price is "cheap" for its quality, I highly doubt that they would just let their selves lose and make it into a charity work. so yeah I dont always get what I paid for.
