What exactly is everyone buying???

[NoHassle]

I think they even have a sheep model now for the "New Zealanders"

I'll buy him one for Christmas.

I'll have a look but I do know they cost a fortune.

Good lovin ain't cheap. Or so i have heard. And you always pay, one way or another.

Very true.

Let's see, since September, I bought 3 American guitars, a 2026 American car, a Japanese keytar,...

and equities, funds, ETFs, and private equity. I buy a little on each major market drop or dip.

Are you gay by chance? If so, we should hook up lover boy.

FTR I ain't gay but for money I'm a whore.

It's been a few days and except for @NoHassle going broke over blowup doll replacements it seems few are actually feeling any significant impacts from tariffs. I guess all the bitching is just another case of shitlibs crying foul over orange man bad.

Shitty kit amps I buy, then build in my garage... and add a few $20-$50 diode clipper mods, maybe an extra tube gain stage to, then resell them for $3500 to suckers.

Those Chinese parts now cost $100... they will price me out of my sucker target group of buyers!

Man, if any of those people need extra caps, electrolytics and parts, I've got a shitload ill unload for tariff-free wholesale

I have parts literally coming out of my ass that I'm never going to use

Groceries have been ridiculous since long before the tariffs. So has everything else. I can’t really think of anything I’ve bought that’s been way higher due to tariffs. It’s the usual suspects bleating about orange man bad.

I do all the grocery shopping and have noticed a slight difference. Used to be $150 a trip and now it regularly hits $200 or more.
Also online shopping is dicey, especially clothing. No way of knowing it was made overseas until I get the bill with import tariffs added....it isn't shown in the original purchase.

I hope this ain't a sales pitch.

He is talking about like half or maybe 2/3 of the modding community lol

And he is correct

Prices are definitely up, but I can’t pin any of that on tariffs for the things I regularly buy. Grocery prices are ridiculous and getting worse, especially beef, but again, not a tariff issue. They were up due to COVID, stayed high and then kept going. $5.29/lb for 80/20 ground beef, $32.99/lb for beef tenderloin? Stupid. The quality of the cuts has also gone downhill. My grocer is cutting steaks thinner to limit sticker shock, but who wants a 1” thick ribeye? That’s criminal…

It is for some small garage builders... making money off people that simply don't know... or don't feel like building it themselves.

... but ass rape prices are ass rape prices.

Bingo. You are a scholar and a gentleman.
