Value vs price... a slightly philosophical question.

If you like it, it has value. Pretty simple.

Want to declare your rugged individuality? Buy shit with Harley Davidson logos all over it.

LOL

Harley Davidson....talk about marketing! They make more money off of clothing, glasses, and accessories than their bikes.

And the vision of those eyes is tinted by the sunglasses of marketing!

Hey, I'm an Optician, that hits close to home!

You are correct, of course. The average price paid for a pair of sunglasses in the US is about 40 bucks. In Italy, it's $164! All because of marketing.

Truth. You want a beautiful woman, you buy a beautiful car. Personally I would rather have a truck, but that is me and I'll pass on the beautiful woman unless one just finds me. You want to be part of the outdoors crowd, you have knives, guns, and possibly a 4x4 truck/ATV of some kind.

I have to agree. Personality is more important than looks. I married beautiful women (twice). The third time I went more with personality and am much happier.

As for the trucks and knives, I drive an old Jeep Cherokee yet I ride a BMW motorcycle. I want the latest, super blade steel but, only want G10 or FRN for my scales. Does that mean I have issues?

Hype costs a lot.

Well said in four words.

Been looking at ”raffles” at IG a lot.
Holy sh*t.... some guys buying slots för 300-400$ per knife coming up.

Cant help but beeing interested in who those people are!? And how the hell they can afford it.

Some really stupid nice knives though; Medfords, Chaves, Scorpion6.
Stuff I will never buy unfortunatly.

Yeah, I stay out of the raffle thing. I can't comprehend the amount of money being thrown around.

.... but on one hand you think ”MIGHT as well be me winning this time! 10% chance! Getting a Todd Begg for 40$!!”.

Haha. The mind is a dangerous thing.

Not big on a raffle myself be nice for a money raising thing and if the cost of entry was low enough that it is easy to throw in the money.
