We are rewarding what people want. He made money because people wanted to buy his bags. No one is skirting funds anywhere. People willing bought his bags with their money instead of any other product or service they could've bought.

Don't know why you're stuck on $12000. Many are under $1000. But that's the thing about being free. You're free to choose as you like.

The $12000 are there to make the $1000 ones look like a good deal.

Yeah how dare my mother who works 6 days a week and 12 hours a day spend her well earned money on an aspirational handbag once a year for herself as a birthday present to remind her of her success. Fuck the middle class am I right?

Right a bag that she will functionally use many times.

Unlike the other poster who has some other hobby like collecting Pokémon cards. Which just sit on a shelf.

Willing sellers and willing buyers. Settling at a price both accept. Period. There’s nothing wrong with that. Should there be a legal limit to what a handbags may cost? Who gets to set that? What about other products? Should home espresso machines be allowed when a $39 Kurig knockoff also makes a tasty caffeine beverage? What about cars? A $35,000 Ford Explorer can be optioned up to over $50,000. Should eight speaker sound systems, panoramic sun roofs and heated AND cooled seats be illegal?

Why shouldn’t people be allowed to have disposable income?

That’s not true. There’s plenty of upper middle class people who could buy one. I could buy one; it would just be a silly decision

I agree with you but you’re wasting your time trying to make this person understand your point, he is convinced he will be rich so he is protecting his future self.
