"i couldn't find a car selling at the price point i want." you've heard the dumb speaker who wants to sophisticated, i guess, use this redundant, useless term. i know i've read it here lots, especially on the food and drink board.

NO NO NO. why do you include the word point? useless. it adds nothing and makes you sound like a complete moron. a price is a point on a numerical line. you fool!

other stupid terms that need to be eliminated:
touch base
others?

The show House Hunters is rife with this term.

"Price-point" and "space" when used to describe a room drive me nuts.

you are a moron

A PRICE IS A POINT

price range is reasonable

thankfully when i purchase real estate, i do not have intellectually challenged agents working with me. i once did, and as soon as he said, "Price point," i found a new agent.

And I've read the dumb post(er) that leaves out the word "sound" and doesn't understand what "redundant" means.

well if the price of x-widget is variable, then price point adds a variable to the term that has meaning and adds a great bit

I hate it. People that add the "point" need to be tazed, allowing the homeless to rifle their pockets, thereby taking care of the other thread.

and the price of whatever item you're discussing obviously isn't set and has a range. a price point is a distinct demarcation on that range

The term price point implies no variability, imho
