companies just like to jack up prices for "trademark tm foam" stuff

2018-05-16 09:46:41 UTC  

$35 I think for the foam for the Pelican. I needed to replace mine, it was cut out for some Fluke instrument

2018-05-16 09:46:59 UTC  

yeah its just "their foam"

2018-05-16 09:47:31 UTC  

@nitrokojote Printer ink model I suppose. It's the fancy pick-and-pluck precut stuff.

2018-05-16 09:47:48 UTC  

Sounds about right

2018-05-16 09:47:52 UTC  

Same deal with razors, actually.

2018-05-16 09:48:00 UTC  

Buy a razor,comes with two blades for $8

2018-05-16 09:48:07 UTC  

You're good, moment you need replacements

2018-05-16 09:48:10 UTC  

give me $30

2018-05-16 09:48:24 UTC  

Switch to safety razors.

2018-05-16 09:48:46 UTC  

Better shave and cheaper blades. I spend $25/100

2018-05-16 09:49:01 UTC  

"expensive" aint the right word

2018-05-16 09:49:08 UTC  

thing expensive with the foams is = storage

2018-05-16 09:49:12 UTC  

they take a lot of space

2018-05-16 09:49:12 UTC  

I wouldn't mind getting a strongbox to carry my laptop or other fragile electronics and shit if I was travelling

2018-05-16 09:49:15 UTC  

and space == costs a lot

2018-05-16 09:49:26 UTC  

Ahh

2018-05-16 09:49:54 UTC  

thats why "market foam" costs so much when its their "special magic unicorn powder edition"

2018-05-16 09:49:59 UTC  

even if its same stuff as everyone else

2018-05-16 09:51:09 UTC  

I'm curious what the production process is. I assume it's just extruded and stamped. Storage space isn't reeeally going to make it cost that much, because it's smaller and more expensive than the ottoman I got(the flesheating one from a couple threads back)

2018-05-16 09:51:29 UTC  

It's just Pelican=brandbucks.

2018-05-16 09:51:39 UTC  

pretty much

2018-05-16 09:51:48 UTC  

but i bet pelican does not make their own foam

2018-05-16 09:51:57 UTC  

soo they have some storages somewhere

2018-05-16 09:54:30 UTC  

ready cut pluck foams

2018-05-16 09:54:47 UTC  

(also apparently it was good search word for hardcases too

2018-05-16 09:54:52 UTC  

now i dont get that phone-case shit

2018-05-16 09:55:15 UTC  

Oh, nice

2018-05-16 09:56:49 UTC  

:DD apparently its cheaper to buy glass-bong + hardacase instead of just hardcase

2018-05-16 09:56:53 UTC  

goddamit germany

2018-05-16 09:56:56 UTC  

what the fuck

2018-05-16 09:57:10 UTC  
2018-05-16 09:57:31 UTC  

LUL

2018-05-16 09:57:51 UTC

2018-05-16 09:57:52 UTC  

goddamit

2018-05-16 10:04:17 UTC  

So I can't connect my yee light with the xiaomi EU rom, well this is great

2018-05-16 10:12:21 UTC  

@Tervy Different materials though.

2018-05-16 10:12:26 UTC  

Perhaps also different sizes.
