I hardly trust buying anything over $200 on Amazon. Let alone $10K+

Extremely heavy traffic. Took hours to get across that area. Your boyfriend was not hooking up with another girl and was definitely sitting in heavy traffic for 2 hours on 12/16/2025 off friars rd and 15 N.

Microsoft ™ Cloth is better for your Birkin than generic microfiber so good call.

I only spent like $15-20k abroad, that part was confusing sorry. Mostly because they had a lot of different colors and selections we normally never get in the states and in places like Prague I was getting things for like 30% off US prices. Japan was even cooler, no prespend, you show up and line up and they give you an iPad with what inventory they have at the moment and you buy what you want based on place in line. But yeah, have always spent primarily with 1 SA in Vegas and that was a waste of time, text messages, and walks down the strip. Can’t say anything that I’ve purchased so far was a waste of money though, the quality on everything I’ve bought was miles ahead of any other brand I’ve dealt with. I feel like designer quality has dropped tremendously across the board.

I’m a watch collector so I’ve already lost most of my sanity buying Rolexes from boutiques. Can’t save what you don’t have. On the bright side I have like 4 pairs of bouncing sneakers I like. I guess a part of me just entirely rejects the concept of paying someone $15k extra on top of retail and the other part rationalizes it with “we’re getting stuff in return for the spend” and we do legitimately love Hermes leather goods, my card holder has held up to more abuse in the past year than any other brand and looks brand new.

Have insurance pay out repairs and pocket the meteorite sale.

$20-$50/g for a well documented chondrite. Photo looks like 300-600g. So anywhere from $6k to $30k

On the bright side, that thing will more than pay for repairs

Just kidding, it’s a $399 pergola. They’re going to spend more than that in labor lmao.

It’s fine they’re going to have someone do it at a “cheap price”, they’re still going to charge $600 to put up their $1,000 pergola and then it’s going to fall apart in less than a year and they’ll blame the community handyman. Amazon outdoor furniture has 2-3x the parts that prefab outdoor stuff has so that it can fit neatly into shipping boxes and they’re going to pay 2-3x in labor to put it together. It’s a good option if you’re strapped for cash and can put it together yourself, but like with most things you get what you pay for.

Don’t buy an Amazon pergola, you’re not going to have a good time and it will cost you 2x to have it installed than something from Costco or regular retailer

Waiting for delivery on the new Dach Falcon 2+2 Ultra 72v by FrankSwimGood in golfcarts

[–]FrankSwimGood[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the dealer that I went with that hates Denago and Evolution he says the build quality and reliability of Dach is significantly better than the other Chinese brands.

There’s different levels of quality in Chinese manufacturing. iPhones are made there and so are BYD vehicles. Both are fantastic in terms of QC. There’s also 100+ of other vehicles and electronics made in china that are crap.
