Why aren't you preserving wealth in non-depreciating asset-class goods, rather than wasting money on disposables, /biz/?

This Eames chair can be had in good second hand condition for $3800. In five or ten years I can sell it for as much as I bought it for or more, adjusted for inflation. Essentially, I rent the chair for nothing. If I'd bought a cheap chair, I would've wasted hundreds of dollars. The cheap chair cost me more than the expensive one.

Once you get out of the consumer mindset you can thinking about asset depreciation curves and TCO. Don't buy disposable junk, buy asset class investments. Buy Knoll and Eames furniture, Leica camera lenses, Rolex watches, classic hi-fi gear. Instead of being full of consumer goods depreciating to zero, my house becomes a storehouse of beautiful assets with lasting value which I can enjoy and liquidate any time I want.

In a demographic deflationary environment there is no asset that is "non-depreciating". Less people being born demand growth determinsitically slowing down and going negative

the catch is it's a frozen hellscape with no services for 300 miles for 9 months out of the year

>>62599601
yeah they are good but they are time consuming. if you want something specific you are never going to find it at an estate sale.

the very first thing I bought with my first paycheck was a stressless recliner. one if not the best purchase I ever made outside of lucky stockpicks. was over 10 years ago and I am still using it on a daily basis.

I hope you're keeping track of how many times you fart in that chair, anon, because no serious buyer is going to pay like-new prices unless you can prove it

It's very comfy but it's not 5-6k+ worth of comfortable, it looks timeless though and I love mine.

You actually from the Romsdal area?

Buy an ad, faggot

The catch is that the locals will shun you. Scandis are infamous for being closed off to people they didn't grow up or go to school with. When you combine that with rural people who are 10x worse at that and the language barrier, you're in for a bad time

This chair has been on my mind for some time. Is it really that good? I need a comfy reading chair.

Trust an amerifat to come up with a chair that stresses human cardiovascular systems as much as their diet

i got the following for free
>big ass cabinet
>old siemens washing machine
>dining table, 2 chairs, one bench as set
from the relatives of an old lady that died. also bought a dirty freezer cooler combo for 5 bucks from a scrapyard like place. boomers throw so much working shit out on the street you simply have to pick it up

But I am of the United States of America, a nation whose people are universally loved across all the world. Surely, they would not shun me.
