Just because I like me some math....and cause baby is at grandma's...
if you can buy a phone for $50 (where?????), then the Dior phone would not be just 20x that but 100x the price, right?
where do you get jeans for $10?????? not even Wal mart sells them that cheap. And you're assuming I'd spend $200 on jeans, which I never did. My limit for jeans is around $100-$150 (that's why I'm on this forum and Ebay - duh)
and considering I've never seen jeans for less than $25, that's just 6x the price of the cheapest jeans.
a purse is an investment in so far that you can resell a designer purse (like LV or Gucci) and get most of your money back even after years. or you can simply wear it for decades since they don't go out of style. a cell phone devalues the moment you make your first call and a year later, you need a new one with the lates technology (again, not me, but the person who forks over $5000 for a phone would!)
so, are you getting this phone or not????? LOL

you can buy a phone for $50, so paying 20x that for a high quality one is $1000 you can buy jeans for $10, so paying 20x that is $200 so you're still paying 20x the minimum. that doesn't even factor in the price per use or the price per feature relative to usability. pants cover your body and provide insulation - some even have pockets to hold your shit. phones to hundreds of things... a purse is even more retarded when you factor in the fact that they don't do anything other than hold your shit (which jeans also do), and the grocery store gives you bags that do the same thing for free. so it all really comes down to what you're willing to pay to do what you need to in STYLE. and as 7kid says, anyone considering a purse an investment is probably also considering commerative plates as an investment and the lottery as a sort of stock market.... |
