Glass snobs

Hello all...
I recently sold a Mark 1 nifty fifty lens I purchased for $40 (in Cash Converters) on eBay for $250. (God bless the buyer!!)

Now, I've owned both versions of this lens (Mk1 and 2) and I know for a fact that when used in AF mode, this lens will give you the same result - it's a very nice /cheap lens.

Why do we attach such value to minor cosmetic stuff (the differences really don't justify the price hike) and obvious techno/nerd hype!?

(this may also tie into the "Greed - is it good" thread!!)
