I could get a coat that lasts years for $10 now and I could do the same 25 years ago. Same with a coat costing $80 or $1000. All those coats should last years.

I could get a coat that lasts years for $10 now and I could do the same 25 years ago. Same with a coat costing $80 or $1000. All those coats should last years. Any one of them that lasts under a year would be a scam, a piece of garbage that shouldn't be sold. Even at $1 that'd be true. I'm not sure what your point is at all.
- dr_dshiv 7y agoMy point is that $80 is not a ton of money to spend on a coat. Neither is it a ton of money to spend on shoes. But many people only intend to use their shoes or coat a single season. It's hard to say that only clothes that last years should be sold. But if I'm being sold a $10 coat or $10 pair of shoes,why should I expect it to last years? I should have paid more for better quality.
- mnm1 7y agoI can't speak to your hypothetical coat, but this coat is advertised to literally last many years so you are either arguing that it's fine for the seller to lie or you don't have an argument at all. Also $80 might not be a lot of money to you, but it is a lot of money to most people in this world. So that's not an argument either. I can afford to buy a Lamborghini on impulse, so how come everyone can't afford one, is frankly a ludicrous argument, whether it applies o Lamborghinis or to coats.
