This is literally just a $30 gas roofing torch attached to a cheap toy gun. Production cost can't be more than $60 a peice.
They even sold a fire extinguisher at a 200% mark-up and they sold out, just because it has a fucking 'boring company' sticker on it.
And they don't even try hide the fact.
Are people honest to god this stupid and fickle?
people aren't buying it because they have a pressing need to extinguish fires
it's just a fashion accessory. people buy it not to USE it but to HAVE it
same as cutting-edge flagship mobile phones
or fast cars in countries with 60mph speed limits
or pic related
It's like a thinkpad for shitposting OP, no one need it.
Its literally just a gimmick to raise capital for Boring Company. Its actually a pretty smart move.
Manufacture a commonly known and but nearly entirely unavailable product with a reason commercial appeal.
Mark it up by literally 1500%.
Profit!
i just dont get it
who are they trying to impress
i seen the supreme hair clippers too, and that people were paying like $800 for them.
Literally a set of walmart hairclippers with a supreme sticker on them.
Fuck me. It's unreal.
Am i autistic for feeling so incredulous about this sort of thing?
the supreme hair clippers thing got high priced because actual barbers with hype beast clients wanted them so they could charge extra.
It's a generational thing.
There's nothing comparable from previous generations.
It's an unfortunate sign of the times. It's consumerism gone mad.
1000%+ markups on useless bullshit has been around since the dawn of capital markets.
but never so blatantly.
I mean, people a willingly getting scammed, the fact it's ludicrously overpriced is part of the marketing. That's never happened before. Thats the new low.

What is?
>what is the renaissance
It's a collectors item you dense fuck
Pet rocks were once a thing. Or look up the tulip mania. This sort of thing isn't new.
yo my insta followers need to see me with the new new
pet rocks i'll give you. but they were never exorbitantly expensive. Nobody was spending a weeks wages on pet rocks.
Tulipmania was a speculative trading bubble, which is completely different. It wasn't consumer driven.
Quickcash grab from a company hemorrhaging money to get some status points. It's great idea desu none of their target numale audience has ever held a power tool in their life and using something that's like a video game item is brilliant.
