if those had a good margin and long term demand I would do them, I don't though
you should look into kitchen shit
Fondling the real deal vs the fakes is pretty big
people buy kitchen shit all the time. I bet you could sell a lot of cookie cutters in novelty shapes
yeah
you know I am actually looking into a certain sort of cutting boards
I see a lot of stuff on amazon where it looks like it all is exactly the same thing from china at wildly different prices
one of the reason you see that is they run simultaneous listings at different prices, then take data on which price sells best
that's how they determine their prices
That makes a lot of sense
I have to pay spergs money for software to do that for me
and then run chi squared tests to see if the data is real or not
Usually at that point I'll just try to track down the name brand whatevers if it is something I really want
interestingly that puts you in a small break of consumers
an admirable one, but a very small one
of people who buy name brand?
no, people who do the slightest product research
Well it's like I want let's say X pair of sunglasses, and the entire amazon market is just a flood of confusing chinese knockoffs
So eventually you just say fuck it and buy the designer pair they're cloning
most people are like... price, picture, possibly the right brand, review average, then a coin toss chance of buying
my buying patterns are really different from normies because I don't want to be a wage slave for the rest of my life
oh? go on
well I just avoid buying things that I don't need or won't contribute to my happiness
and if I think i need to buy something I'll give it a couple weeks and see if I still need/want it
then I think about the value of a dollar being $1 if you spend it but infinite if you keep it which makes it really easy to keep putting disposable cash into my investment/retirement accounts
yeah
in my view, every dollar invested is 3 cents a year I can spend for life
No point in impulse buying expensive shit
Or even cheap shit
I do not buy anything except food
I have no TV, I sleep on the floor, I have a guitar I bought for $200 more than 10 years ago and that's about it
also a gym membership
Get a bed
the money that has flown through my hands has almost all ended up invested, the tiny remainder has bought me high protein food and a gym membership and that's basically it
no, beds are a waste of money and floor space
require money to buy, more money for mattress, then a bigger apartment to compensate for the space you lost
It's your life dogg
I don't even do a floor futon anymore, I just stack random blankets
I wish I had come to the understanding of money and consumer culture that I have now, earlier, and avoided some stupid mistakes
don't we both
I recently dropped some decent coin on one of those memory foam matresses, an Ikea one so not super expensive, and it really has improved my sleep qualiry
