Many people buy expensive, classic products. Do you these products actually makes them classy, impacts an impression on other people?

Buying expensive classic products is all about the feel of premiumness and the experience with that product or brand. Also, the preference also matters here.

But does that make the buyer feel classy?

Do these products actually leave an impression on other people? What is the exact impression left on other people?

What do you think about such products overall?

Well there’s always the argument of quality versus quantity. And sometimes things are just overpriced. Which is why a lot more surf shops and discount shops are popping up and becoming more popular.

I think when it comes to The bottom line is what works for you

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

What are surf shops?
What is The bottom line you mentioned?

[Justneedtokno]

Thrift stores and outlets

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Yess. Definitely. These stores sometimes give value for money products than any standard store.

If i buy something expensive its because i feel i earned it and i want to reward myself. Fck tryna impress others

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Yeah!

[OlderAndWiser]

Designer name brands only make an impression on others who see that as a sign of class or prestige. Some classic products are very good quality and that would be a reason to purchase them, but it is shallow to buy something solely because of the name.

most of the times it is very clear when people buy something just to be a pretentious fuck... lol

tacky...

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Yes. Definitely. I can see that with iPhones in India. They are a kind of status symbols for people here. I don't know why. I just see them as utility tools myself.

It does. If they can afford it, good for them. But if they saved up their shit just to buy expensive crap to show off, I feel for them.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Me too, honestly.
Its one thing to afford, and its another thing to save up and then buy it. This time, you are using up your entire savings in it.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

But here too, a smart saver will allocate funds appropriately and will wait for the time. That time, they completely deserve it, I think.

[fonduegirl]

I think those things are overrated.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Some things definitely are.

[fonduegirl]

Luxurious goods, that is.

What I overall think: ''Fuck consumerism'' :D
