Question 1

Can you clean it in the dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

Hi Robin. I ordered these and have used them for a while. I am not sure what the manufacturer's directions are about the dishwasher, but I have put them in the dishwasher myself. The strainer itself was fine and did not melt, but there are about 4 strips of glue that hold the stainless steel ring to the plastic strainer, and that glue melted when I put it in the dishwasher. The glue did not make any mess, but the ring will fall out if you hold the strainer upside down. The ring still stays on right side up because the ring has four metal tabs on it that go into grooves on the strainers. I just used gorilla glue and put 4 tiny dots around and glued them back and they are good as new. I wouldn't let this keep you from buying these strainers. They look cute and have last several months now, much longer than any regular metal strainers. Hope this answer helps!

Question 3

Why is one ribbit joie kitchen sink strainer basket, frog $3.99 and another is $13.03?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they “SHOULD” be priced the same based on manufacturer cost vs. retail cost. However, if you  understand ANYTHING about basic economics (In the US, anyway), you’d know about “Supply and demand”. After all, if you were looking to sell your $20,000 car and for whatever reason it suddenly became a very desirable “One of a kind” (Thus causing its value to quadruple), would you insist on still selling it for $20,000? Or would you take the $80,000 that someone’s willing to pay? Even if you donated the extra $60,000 to a worthy charity? A somewhat extreme example, but an example nonetheless. In short, the one at $13.03 is selling much better than the one at $3.99! Plus, when an item doesn’t sell, it costs retailers $$ to store those non-selling items. To avoid paying to store something that continues to diminish in value (Losing even more money), they need to repeatedly discount them (lower the price) to get rid of them. Lastly, the higher priced items help decrease the loss made on the lower priced item. Speculation isn’t a definite.
