If you're spending $100 on a backpack you can afford the extra $3 that's baked into the price for a nice zipper.

Peace of mind is a luxury good. People in the bottom of the market for any given class of product don't want to pay for it.

Either $100 for a nice backpack is conservative, or I'm way overpaying for backpacks.
