  • Yeah, I think this was just a hard sell, and it works. My friend and I were apartment shopping and had already checked out a few places. Then we arrived to look at another complex and after meeting with them, we said we’d let them know if we’d like to move forward. They were very friendly, but pushy, saying “no, you don’t have to do that”, “you’re moving in here!”, that kind of stuff. Being naive and lazy, we just said okay and took the path of least resistance. Oh well, gotta live somewhere!

    there are some people for whom that taste is very much worth it.

    That’s just not true, though.

    • Things rich people buy are often about scarcity/vanity, not how good they are
    • Diminishing returns for increasing quality
    • You can overpay for anything and people/companies are ready to profit off that

    Supposed expert “connoisseurs” haven’t been able to tell famous high-priced wines apart in controlled taste tests.
