Quality or Quantity?

[MSORPG pl4y3r]

When you buy somthing, anything or lots of things would you rather have loads or thingies that arent as good as some other things or do you want 1 or 2 thingies that are the best things you can get?

I'll say mine first because I have to; I go for a balance between the two as in, moderate in both.

(I just know I spelt somthing wrong)

What about you? Quality or Quantity?

Quality of course... Why would people want lots of stuff that don't work properly?

 

[Good morning blues]

What the hell am I going to do with two shitty toasters?

 

[Galletea]

Depends. Quality generally, unless it's cookies. Then I'll settle for second best if there are plenty.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Quality. I'd rather have one gun that shoots armor-piercing bullets than 1200 guns that shoot peas.

What if they are moldy, and made with blood and toenail flavor, but there's lots of them?

 

[Phillosophic]

Depends on what it is? Quality for gadgets, electronics etc, Quantity for sweets, beer or money, Would rather have 10 ripped, celotaped together £10 notes over 1 really nice new £10 note.

I said second best, not the ones made by psychos.

Well you never know...

Generally quality. However I've noticed that in the case of food the higher quality you go the less there is of it per serving, thus generally if I'm hungry I'd generally prefer to opt for the more filling, less tasty and less good for my option.

For most other things I'm all about the quality though.

 

[Jonathan Hexley]

Quality of course. Goodness, why'd you want a lot of crap over one good thing?
Unless - as mentioned before - they are cookies. Then I'll take just a bit less quality as long as they taste nice. And there are a lot of them.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Quality.

 

[Isaac Dodgson]

Quality most of the time, with technology, art supplies, and friends

Quantity with beer, food, and money

 

[JMeganSnow]

That sounds nice until you realize that quantity with money often means quantity with work, too.

The tradeoff isn't usually between quality and quantity, though, it's between quality and *expense*. Would you want to live in a quality house if it meant that you can't afford a car, clothing, or food? No. So it's not quality of one thing versus lots of the same thing, it's quality of one thing versus having lots of *other* things.

In general, I'd prefer medium (i.e. functional but no bells and whistles) quality and a reasonable variety of stuff.

 

[Jharry5]

Quality, unless its with food. That's when you more often than not need quantity to fill you up.

 

[TheKnifeJuggler]

But what if you get both...?

 

[NeedAUserName]

But what if you get both...?

You can't thats the point. You can never have your cake and eat it, people should know this.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

Depends on the product

 

[cleverlymadeup]

gonna say quality

even crappy stuff you don't care about or are using till it breaks, i'd still say quality

Well, this would be true if quality and quantity were single-factored mutually exclusive traits, but they're not. There *is* a tradeoff involved, but it's a complex interrelationship.
