Whenever I walk down the toy isle or browse the Tanks for sale stuff I always look at the price and I think "Am I going to get _____ dollars worth of fun out of this?" If the answer is no then I dont if yes then I go ahead.... Well after watching something worth 25 bucks in stores go for 100 I started wondering... why do people pay so much? Are you really going to get 100 dollars worth of fun out of that toy? Or is it an obsession? like.... "I have to have it now!" or could it be just that money is nothing to you, it grows on trees.... you have millions sitting in mutual funds earning you 8% interest..... What is it? How do people who pay these prices justify it? Just wondering....

Because it falls under "Gotta Have it Now".....What Gives me some satisfaction is that maybe when they spend tons of money on something thats not out yet...that when they go to Target or WalMart the next day it might be sitting on the pegs for Retail price......then they are kicking themselves in the A.. for being Impatient.......

hahaha this sale is becoming viral...... let me try to change the thought process.... What about vintage stuff that is sold for 50+ bucks just because it has the little gun that he came with originally whats up with that?
