People having too much Money.....

in money •  7 years ago 

I work with a couple floor reps in the the Valley, and one of those moved to a new store. She invited me in to have a look, and what I saw amazed me. Tv, full bar, and snack bar...... Am I in a tile store? She said yes, and all the drinks and stuff are complementary. So we started walking around, and some of the tile was $200 a square foot. That is crazy, who would spend that on stuff, well apparently people do. I live in a small house and would have to pay 50,000 to tile my floor with some of this stuff. Sorry not my clientele. They are more in the price range of 2-4 dollars a square foot. 20180420_105029.jpg

For example, this is a Goat leather rapped slate. Yes I said it is a goat skin stretched over a stone. Who would think of ever doing that, "O don't come over I have to condition my leather floor" I can just hear it now. That was like 30 a square foot. I was completely amazed at the products and their prices. Nice stuff, but not practical. Maybe I can afford it when steem goes to 1000.

I do believe that if an animal has to die (like for food), then we should make use of as much of it as possible.

Floor tiles though... Really! - That said, I guess goat skin rugs have been out of fashion for years.

Ya I am not against eating and using animals wisely either, but it is just so weird of a combination.

Wow! Is this tile store next to the store that sells that really expensive bottled water? The one with Gold flecks in it or the jeweled bottles? There are some people out there that spend more money on a floor than I do on my entire house. lol

It was crazy, after seeing the price tags, I can see why they offer free drinks and snakes. Because you won't be able to afford them later.

Capitalism! I love it. The dream of an amazing life is real! 🏰🏎🍾

It will be better! STEEM to $1500! That would be a 500x increase from the current value! People need something to spend money on... These prices doesn't sound too crazy compared to what people pay for random paintings... There we talk true madness! But if I was in their shoes 👞I would probably do the same thing! I mean what else would I spend my time on? Curate content? Haha. 🏌️⛳️

Man if steem went to 1500 I might buy a tile or 2

Haha.

One day you should be able to afford it, Steem will go to 1000 one day ;0 just needs some time. not that i would spend it on those tiles, money could be better spent elsewhere =)

Ya, I might be better off just buying my own goat and then making my own tiles

Goat leather on a tile, this is new and guess the price will be outrageous. Were you able to buy any or changed your mind until steem rises?

Nope did not buy any, I think stuff like that is just a waste of money. I can do just fine with 2-4 dollar a square foot tile.

Okay. That should be like the type I got in my house. Take a look. The worth of this in my country is $3

Ya that is about the same here, the stuff in this shop was in the range of 10-200 dollars. Crazy, like that goat leather... What is the purpose.

Hahaha. Maybe it has foot massager because I see no reason why it should be so expensive when it doesn't have any other benefit aside stepping on it.

yes true. some branding technique and production method available for only rich. i worked with one of the leading brand sanitary dealer in UAE. there i found this type of price variation and non practical products. with the price of few pieces of that sanitary items ..here we can build a house. nice post

For sure that is a costly buy @bigram13 but amazed to know that tiles are now available with animal skin....make sure once you get it dont call any vegan in your home 😉 they wont be much comfortavle with animal stufs around

so it's not vegan friendly?

I did not even know that already produce such a tile-thank you,
that told. Good luck with your repairs and new achievements!

My best regards, @singa

I think there are better things to spend the money and if one day it reaches 1,000 steem then we should think about things that fill us more than a few expensive tiles.
