I'm glad to see my Now Reading topic still exists. Gnight! http://www.brentblack.com/pages/best_02.html “$35,000?! For a straw hat?!” Yes. “Are you serious?” Yes. “Is it made of gold?” No. Straw.

Guest KY Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 “So it’s just straw.”Yes, in the same sense that the Hope Diamond is just carbon, and the Mona Lisa is just paint. Move over, stupid art and jewelry, it looks like we've got a new treasure to cherish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I wonder what the markup is on these hats, probably close to $35.000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 if anyone told me their hat cost 35 grand, i'd be extremely tempted to remove it from their head, smiling sweetly, drop it on the ground and step all over it. if you've got 35 grand to spend on a hat and you spend it on a hat you're a fucking asshammer.

chenGOD Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Imagine someone weaving linen by hand, one thread at a time, and you begin to have some idea of what these hats are like. The finest require three months to weave. Three months. A single hat. "and I paid the bastard 3 dollars a month, meaning I made $34,991 on this sale...oh shit I wasn't supposed to type that."

Guest Iain C Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 now there's a guy who knows how to do long copy sales. You'd hope so. He was apparently a professional copywriter: http://www.brentblack.com/pages/aboutus_making_ads_for_hats.html And I've got to admit, that's some excellent copy. Reading this at work doesn't even feel like slacking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Wait, it says $25,000 now edit: also, I get the feeling that this page was specifically designed to make the average person go "argh fuckin rich people" & share the link on forums. Clever marketing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iain C Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well, if you look at the catalogue, you can actually buy one of this chap's hats - of an allegedly lower quality - for $500 or thereabouts. That's still a hell of a lot of money for a hat, but compared to $25,000 it seems like a bargain. Now, a hat approaching the quality of a $25,000 model is within your lower-middle-class grasp... That's clever marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 He's dropped the price by 10,000 dollars in one day. I'd say that undermines his pricing somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rambo Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Fuck i'd love someone to buy one and get it stolen while walking down the street. Pretty funny that it'd have basically no resale value because it's just a fucking hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
