So I signed up for Massdrop. Mainly to see if I could score a Seiko for decent money, which since happened via here anyway. Seriously, Massdrop seems to sell 98% of stuff I could life my life without, and not miss.
Lock picking sets. WTF is going on with these. Training stations to learn how to use them. Do people buy this shit? Why?
Knives. Fair enough. People hunt and fish. But how many do you need. How many different types? Why do they all look like designer pieces that will sit next to exotic fruit bowls in trendy man pad apartments, rather than sticking out of a fish's gut?
Bottle cutters? Do I look like Tonia fucking Todman? I'm going to cut a bottle and make a fkin lampshade from the fkin thing?
Titanium keyboard cap covers @ $75 each. How did I miss these? Jesus, I clearly haven't been living.
All I can see is wall to wall first world shit. Shit you don't need as far as the eye can see. It's like the people that used to send out those Innovations catalogues have gone online. Not only that, for the products I might have been interested in, like that watch, the prices aren't so hot that I'm going to wait til they've got enough buyers to lock it in and ship it out.
As for watches, fuck me there are some fugly watches out there. I know people have different tastes and mine run to simple. But when a watch looks busier does more stuff than an entire govt department can achieve in a full week (that's 5 days without stress leave or TOIL) I kind of forget what the time was.
Time to unsubscribe.
