People Share 85 Expensive Things That Are Worth The Asking Price

I'm so sorry for your injuries and glad the children are well

John Hammond "Spared no expense".

Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word

Not always fool-proof. We just bought a house and paid $1,500 for a thorough 'deluxe' inspection. They missed tons of wood rot because they would not and could not pull up carpet. No worries, they had a hydroscope thing. "This house is dry" but then the flooring contractor comes in and says "This house was really wet and has tons of rot. You need a new roof ($18,000) and carpentry ($10,000) before we touch a thing.".

You should even have a brand new house inspected. An inspector found a structural mistake in our new house inspection. I actually had a realtor tell me you didn't need an inspection on a newly built house.

Try to get a good inspection of the roof. One of the most expensive items that is often not fully inspected.

I still don't buy this one. Some of those beds they sell that can solve all your problems, screw your wife, and answer the meaning of life, are $5k+. They're made with the same materials as $500 mattresses you find everywhere. Hell, they're probably also made in the same sweat shop lol.

Agree 10000% with this! I have family members and friends who have lost body parts because their employers cheaped on safety equipment and my other half lost a friend who transferred to another high school due to the football coach/school cheaping on the helmets. Quality costs, don't scimp on safety!

What if I like the thrill?

No to John Wayne toilet paper. Rough ,tough ,and won't take c**p from anyone.lol.

Yes, yes, yes. Do yourself the favor of NEVER cheaping out on toilet paper. One tends to learn this by experience alone.

Fun fact toilet paper is always on sale , its the ine universal product according to grocery stores

This holds true, but only if you desire to get anywhere in your car during winter.

As a lifelong Minnesotan I can tell you I've never seen winter tires. I've gotten plenty of tires and not a single shop has ever asked if I want "winter tires". I have never known a single person who has changed their summers out for winters. Super odd.

I get studded tires made by my local shop. You have to buy brand new all season tires and they stud them by hand. My crappy old van is so competent In nasty Maine weather here in the mountains

No. Just get smaller trash cans. I've never once had a problem with my 1000/$8 amazon trash bags breaking on me.

Better idea: don't use plastic trash bags. With the amount of trash each person produces in a day, adding mess loads of plastic trash bags will choke the environment worse than it already is.

I could not agree more. I really good, light backpack is worth so much more than you bought it for. Do not skimp on it. It's an investment, not a cost.

Good brakes never turn to breaks

Having said this, ALWAYS ask to see pictures of their work and ask to sit in on another session. A bad artist will fake their portfolio.

Calling something someone is obviously proud of a "monstrosity" is not a good look on you, OP... I mean, maybe they like how it looks. I understand the basics though as an artist myself I'd want a good artist to do my work. But if it was cheap and they *like* it, what does it matter?

It's a shame that people decide to cover beautiful flesh with ink. I can understand wanting to cover a scar or some sort of defect, but in my opinion, flesh is ALWAYS more attractive than ink.

As I sit at a dentist office to get a repair fixed...

Partly agree... Yes, having your teeth checked twice a year to prevent problems is a real good thing. On there other hand, there are some dentists that will advise braces for even the slightest not perfect teeth so you get the "perfect smile", never telling you that you need to keep that wire behind your teeth for the rest of your life and that said wire will brake a lot of times during your life 😳 I can fully understand the want/need for braces if your teeth are really crooked or you have a gap so big you car park a bike in it, but for the rest... if you like your teeth the way they are, don't let yourself be convinced that you need it 😉

I never believed this until I splurged on an expensive bra. Never, ever going back to the cheap ones!

I used to size women for bras, this is actually pretty true. GET SIZED. Put your feelings about your weight aside and get a bra that actually fits, and then 6 more because you are supposed to change them everyday. Treat a quality bra well and it will last years. Poopy bras need replacing yearly, at best.

I follow the rule of buying cheap the first time and seeing what I use the most/breaks the easiest then replace with a more reputable brand if need be. Some cheap tools can last forever if a) The general purposes are less labor intensive i.e. small home repair screwdriver and b) you don't end up using said tool very often. No reason to buy a $100 screwdriver to put batteries in your child's toy and no reason to spend a large amount on something that you barely use and would ultimately work just as well if the tool was cheaper. Just use your own discretion.

Oh yes, that! The times that people asked if I could do a photoshoot for free, because I had my own studio when I still did shoots are countless. Yes, I did free shoots when I asked strangers I met on the streets or wherever, as that was for my fun. Being asked by someone more often then not needed explaining why I charged a certain amount of money. The equipment, the years of study to learn all about your camera and techniques, poses, originality, photoshop courses. It cost thousands. And then the time it takes from photoshoot to the ready product... So sure I'll do your photoshoot for free because you ask and think I can pay myself with buttons 😜

A pro on an iPhone beats your cousin with an expensive camera, though.

Absolutely! And even if you are renting, get tenant insurance. You never know what can happen. Also get vehicle insurance if only for the liability portion of it.

And when you are hit by a hurricane, insurance companies declare bankruptcy and don't pay you... Visit Florida's West coast.

They last forever and get better with age

Any helmet! And remember that helmets are single use and have an expiry date. They must be discarded if they have been involved in an accident even if there is no apparent damage. The expiry date should be on a sticker on the inside of the helmet (at least for bicycle helmets). It must be discarded past that date. Don't ever buy them second hand!

Seriously, yes.

Could not disagree more. Running shoes (even the best ones) get worn out quickly and unevenly. The repetitiveness of running distance with your joints not properly aligned is what is going to cause injury. It is far better to buy cheap shoes and replace them often. Unless you are rich and can buy 120$ shoes after the same number of miles.

Never buy running shoes from a drug dealer.... I don't know what he laced them with but I kept tripping..

Most people I know that go to festivals are to drunk/high to notice where they sleep but as the sober person I agree.

I think I look great. lookin-goo...9-jpeg.jpg
