Can't speak to their tumblers but I've got a thermos that's well over a decade old and still keeps drinks hot/cold for far longer than I've ever needed. One of these guys: Looked on ebay and those go for like 25 bucks. These people don't even known how to do collecting right

repiv posted:can't these people collect something normal like pokemon cards Some people still think that the made-in-Thailand Moomin mugs they bought for 24,95€ each are actually worth something on the "collectors' market" because traders pay the tabloids to run "IS YOUR MOOMIN MUG WORTH 3 500 000 000€?!?!?" adverticles every second month, stating prices that you have to pay if you want to buy one from a trader. It's weird.  HenryJLittlefinger posted:Those Stanley tumblers are pretty legit. Way better than the yetis. My wife just got one since her job requires water bottles to be non spill. Can confirm they keep ice for days just being topped up with cold water. I've been running back and forth filling it for her for the last few days on only a couple ice fill ups. They're easy to clean and heavy enough to give someone a concussion with pretty easily. I drink water from the tap. LIFE HACK. 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 10:36 on Jan 5, 2024 |

It's weird. I don’t buy my Moomin mugs because I think they’re worth something, I buy them because I’m beholden to cute drinking vessels and am aggressively making up for a Moominless childhood. I hate when they release limited edition ones because you have maybe a min on a Tuesday morning to buy them, and then whoops tradera mysteriously has a ton for triple the price hours later

The thing with VHS tapes of Disney movies is that Disney made them artificially scarce back in the day in order to keep prices high and drive FOMO. They called it the "Disney Vault." They'd sell a particular movie for a few months and then "put it in the vault," withholding further copies for a few years. They'd hype up any time they were taking a movie "out of the vault." "Cinderella is once again available in stores! But it's going back in the vault in a few months so buy it NOW while you have the chance!" They can't exactly do that now in the digital age. Given the way Disney marketed that whole thing, it's not entirely surprising that people with a bunch of old Disney VHS tapes would be absolutely convinced they're sitting on a gold mine.

I remember taking a few boxes of books and vhs tapes to Half-Price Books way back in the day - 25 years ago or so? - to help my parents clean up some clutter. We got 80 bucks for the lot and the bulk of that was a $75 offer for some Disney tape or other. Lady and the Tramp, maybe? Anyway it baffled me until the whole Disney Vault thing was explained to me. Of course there are some Disney movies that went in the waaaay back of the Vault and will never see the light of day again, digital age or not. Song of the South, most notably.

We got 80 bucks for the lot and the bulk of that was a $75 offer for some Disney tape or other. Lady and the Tramp, maybe? This also caused a fun little thing to happen every now and then at the video rental place I worked at in the 90s. Since you couldn't just go out and buy a copy of a Disney movie, people would come up with a brilliant, diabolical scheme which surely no one had ever thought of before:  "Hi, I rented The Little Mermaid here yesterday but I'm afraid I've lost the tape." "Uh oh." "Terribly sorry, I'll pay for it of course, it's like 20 bucks, right?" "Nope, Disney tapes are more. That'll be $400 please." "WHAT" "It's in the agreement you signed when you got your membership card." "You know what, I think I'll... go look for it some more." "Good plan."Needless to say, the tape would always miraculously be found. The funny part is, we didn't give a poo poo if anyone copied the tapes they rented. We even had good quality recording decks available for rent, and if they asked we'd show them exactly how to get the best quality. It was analog so there was generational loss, but if you used good equipment and quality blank tapes, it could be hard to tell. The only way tape copiers could piss us off was if they swapped the tape reels, so that they kept the original magnetic tape and gave us back the copy, hidden inside the original tape shell with the original label. (If you're old enough to remember the little tamper-evident seal on the side of rental VHS tapes, that's why those were there, to make that tactic visible to the clerk checking the returned tapes back in.)

I'd like to see the mouse Sherlock Holmes film again because it's the second-best American animated Sherlock Holmes cartoon. But I guess I'll just watch it for free instead of buying a 40 000 000 simoleon video tape cassette.
