Hi

Worse than any tweak from High End Audio snake oil caliber items... I don't think anyone can convince him/herself or be convinced of anything this is supposed to do, be or provide ..

There in all its glory from a company called Made Solid via Nordstrom ...

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

If there is a market for it, and it seems there is because they are sold out, then it's no worst than many other stuff we read every day on the news.

This is a rip off; it's just so sad. It hurts where it should...in the brain...with a bad headache. :D

Why do humans show such enthusiasm to criticize anything that does not follow their own rules?

There are a few interesting concepts in this gift - the proper shape, the quality of the materials, the uniqueness of each stone, the combination of a soft beautiful leather and the carefully treated and chosen stone. I am sure that it includes a certificate referring to the San Bernardino Mtns. And yes, it is luxury item, and priced as such.

Bob, I only posted in this thread because I did not want you to be sad anymore ... ;)

I have seen similarly priced ridiculous items at Needless Mark-Up.

I mean Neiman-Marcus.

As PT Barnum said, there's a sucker (or in this case, a schmuck) born every minute.

Shows how little you loy know
those are freeze dried testicles of famous himalayan thars , lovingly wrapped in the finest nappa vellum made out of capibara pelt.
Sourced in the jungles of amazonia ,, the heavy duty ball bag imparts weight and gravitas to the sound , still maintaining a state of tension and build up to the ultimate eargasm.
they make good paper weights too..

There's nothing I wouldn't wear at Neiman-Marcus, over that backpack. But I will say NM has some silly stuff, like made in china Burberry T-shirts for $195? Uhuh...
