New level of ridiculousness

Hi all, I work at a Las Vegas casino, and a couple of years ago three young men came in to play Baccarat, they were from mainland China and were in their early twenties. They played off and on for three days and when they left they had lost a total of 17 million dollars! If these guys got into audio they would not balk at a $9000.00 dollar power strip!

@racamuti What does your story tells us?

It's sick. Gone up to $16,500 since thread started in 2012.

Has anyone checked the price of New York steaks lately? You need to take out a second mortgage in order to buy beef these days.

Hi Daveyf, I think it tells us that there are people in the world that have LOTS of $, and that there will be products that are marketed for them, which is what I think this power strip is! And the people that don't have much $ will scoff. How about womens purses? I've seen customers coming in with a purse that costs $60,000! A purse for gods sake! Not to mention watches for $300.000.

So why do we complain about this stuff? Its not meant for the masses, this is stuff for the wealthy. So if I had a billion $ and I read a review about a power strip that could possibly improve my stereo, I wouldn't even ask how much , I would just tell my personal shopper to get me one!Heres a scenario for ya, If you went to a garage sale and saw one of these marble power strips for $300.00 Would you buy it?
