      What’s the most you would pay for a toaster?

        @SKT I have zero use for one since I don’t eat toast. The wife on the other hand happily paid a couple of hundred for some fancy contraction that does 4 pieces at once and that can have each slot individually dialled in.
        How much are u willing to pay?

          @SKT we got the cheapest toaster we could find at like 12 bucks about 10 years ago and its still kicking....it just doesn't pop up on its own and needs full-time supervision.

            Our 4-slice toaster died after probably 5 years and my wife tasked me with finding a new one. The variety both in price and “extras” is hilarious. Just HEAT THE DAMN BREAD.

            This one is $400 and I guess has WiFi connectivity. Homo sapiens have lost their way…

                We have a toaster, toaster oven, air fryer combo that gets used multiple times a day.

                I love peanut butter toast and eat it with my coffee on most days I’m not working

                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                  @Mizmazzle I can get behind the combo idea. Do you recommend?

                            I saw this Japan-only release of a FW26 already for sale on eBay…how does that happen?

                              @SKT items are ready and available in store in Japan before they arrive with us. I suspect someone has been in to get one and subsequently flogging it online

                              The devil is in the detail..

                                  @AdamJ thanks Adam. I don’t think it’s even released in Japan yet. Same seller has many FW26 items listed. Seems sketchy as hell

                                    I suspect they have seen the FW preview that Japan does, and have made a listing of products that they plan to buy. I suspect these eBay Japan sellers are a mix of Japanese wholesalers frustrated they are not allowed to sell overseas trying to circumvent the rules, and also individuals that live near shops who list the entire stock of a shop, then go in and buy each time they make an eBay sale

                                      Corporations touch everything on the planet. Thinking that governments are in “control” is naive. We’re beholden to them and going off grid just isn’t a feasible option for most. As @kasi will most assuredly tell you… it’s all about the Benjamin's.

                                        @Alex that sucks. Guessing there’s really nothing that can be done. I guess bright side is it means consumer demand is strong for your products.
