Default Long After...

Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.

What does this sentence mean?

Also "long after" mean?

In essence, it means that even if the item you bought is expensive, it will last for a long time. (According to the...often false assumption that expensive things are better)

long after=a long time after...[buying this product, in this example]

If you buy a really top quality item [which will probably last longer and do its job better than a less good item] for a high price, you will remember the quality for a much longer time than you will remember the price.
