Intangible means INtangible - NON-physical. So for material goods anything 'intangible' would have to relate to NON-PERFORMANCE issues - and without doubt get into the field of status, exclusivity, 'snobbery' - etc.

And that is indeed the whole point of searching for equipment which has INTRINSIC value and has not had its price goosed up for intangible characteristics!
