Interesting thread.

Let's see....I buy nice stuff, but I feel better because I shop around and get good deals on them so I'm paying less than what others are for good stuff.

1. Bikes. I like the look of nude carbon fiber. I have 2 bikes 1 road and one mountain, both carbon fiber. Together they value at 5500 bucks. I paid less.
2. Iphone on the release day. I paid a guy to sit in line for me too.
3. Like ckit, an ungodly amount on 1 carat each side earrings.
4. Home (well it is So Cal, you overpay for a house.)
5.Future purchase of Lamborghini
6.Diesel Jeans (so comfortable) I still get them at a good price
7.Armani shirts (i get them a lot less than others)
8.New balance 991 adn 992's so comfortable
9.High end burton snowboard boots.
10. Booze. Tons of black (daily) and blue label (special), Remy martin, Patron
11. Food (I have a Sushi addiction.)

That's about it.

why do you feel happy with it if you know they are overpriced? do you enjoy being fooled or do you think you are really getting something nicer and by definition, "worth it."

Is that a general comment or directed toward me? If me, I get good stuff, but I never pay full price. I do research and get it for good prices.

Ammunition is getting really expensive. Any belted magnum rounds are at least $1/trigger squeeze. I still buy it though!
