Clothing made from exotic birds
If you buy a $15,000 jacket made from an ostrich via a wire transfer from your bank in Cyprus, how much of the purchase price is the value of being able to return it later for sweet, clean and free cash?
Maybe the jacket actually costs the retailer $2,000. You return it later, pay a 35% "restocking fee". $9,800 comes out the other end.
Rinse and repeat.
"As an homage to the EPOdays of yore- I'd find the world's last remaining pair of 40cm ergonomic drop bars.....i think everyone who ever liked those handlebars in that shape and in that width is either dead of a drug overdose, works in the Schaerbeek mattress factory now and weighs 300 pounds or is Dr. Davey Bruylandts...who for all I know is doing both of those things." - Jerk
