Cool, overpriced items


lightsout

Recommended Posts

After watching the Book of Eli, I really wanted a pair of those headphones he had. But I couldn't find anything on them. Then, a guy in one of my classes has a pair. Said they are the best headphones he has ever used and that they never come out. They are Beats by Dr. Dre. So, I asked him how much they are...$180 at Best Buy. WTF?! $180?! REALLY?! I would buy a pair TOMORROW if they were $20-$30 because my current earbuds come out while walking, let alone running.

So, this thread is dedicated to great items, whatever they may be, that are severely overpriced.

video games and systems, iphones (most smart phones), Shape ups (only they aren't cool...)

Gotta ask for an explanation on the video games and systems, as well as smart phones.

If you're argument for video games is that you can just download them on your computer for free, my response is a computer capable of running games at equal quality as current gen consoles will typically cost you around $2000 depending where on console cycle you are when you buy it. On the other hand, if you are saying video games are just worthless period, then fug you buddy.

As for smart phones, I find that having internet access and GPS in my pocket at all times is incredibly valuable. Do I wish plans were cheaper, yes, but it is still worth my money. Having a computer/phone/mp3 player/GPS/camera/wireless hotspot/handheld gaming device that can fit in my pocket is pretty awesome in my opinion.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
