To those talking about poverty in the world and such as, I answer that buying these things have no impact whatsoever on these matters. The act of buying, be it on a $0,50 BIC or the amazing Montblanc at $700,000,00, both help the economy to spin, create jobs and help poverty diminish. It is to show off theses things in vanity that is bad. The pen that would really amaze me would be one who can only write smart things. Whatever would be the price, I would be buying one to give to the president.Jason Mailleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683946526877503355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17209233.post-68947483214888653762007-06-19T22:45:00.000-04:002007-06-19T22:45:00.000-04:00Or maybe companies are offering these goods becaus...Or maybe companies are offering these goods because if a (sucker) does buy them, they make a crazy profit, and they immediately get to establish themselves as a fantastic company for the uber rich, which then turns the items into status symbols...which then makes THAT the new luxury standard instead of the triple-digit luxury goods being attained now.
