That sure sounds like projecting. Personally, I'm here for the real-world photos of new bands over time, particularly the comparison shots. Speculation discussion and shots of people's various storage solutions are definitely cool bonuses, as well.
Sorry if you took any offense, I meant for that so come off somewhat sarcastic. Of course there’s all the pics of bands and deal threads and about a hundred other reasons to stick around here, but to say it’s boring and nobody cares when someone says “I got [band] for [price]” seems redundant. I personally love to see people post their deals, and I for sure love to post my own. If you don’t care you can just ignore it. I don’t know where the idea came from that I shoot down anyone for spending $100+ on a band, but I don’t... or at least, I don’t mean to. I stand by what I said. The braids are nowhere near worth $99. Hell, I wouldn’t even buy one over $35. Hermès is a waste of money at retail. The International Collection isn’t worth more than $500 for a full set. And
@rambo47 most definitely overpaid for CYR. But that’s my opinion... if you have the money, want the bands, and are fine paying those prices, I’m all for it. I think rambo overpaid, sure, but he wanted that band and was willing to pay that price, so while I surely wouldn’t do the same, I’m glad he found what he wanted.
@iChernov definitely overpaid for his full international collection, but that’s by my standards. He’s happy to have those bands and was willing to pay the price they cost him, and I’ve got nothing but respect for that.
It’s part of the reason I love to see when other people get good deals in this thread and others on the forum. I love to see other people happy about their bands, and when it’s a good deal I can personally relate to it, because I hunt for good deals no less than anyone else does.if someone has a problem with it, they can ignore those posts and just scroll past them. There’s no harm done in sharing your deals.
