I think this hobby has decreased my value of a dollar
I've noticed that what I consider cheap most people would consider expensive.
"I got her for a great price, she was only $425 shipped"
"Only?!"
People look at me like I'm crazy.
Has this ever happened to anyone else?

ME! Definitely me.
Petstore ferrets are worth $150 max and I always hear people whining about how expensive they are. $150 is peanuts to BP keepers. haha....
My portrayal of "cheap" keeps going up. I'm now at the "$800 is a good deal for that!" stage. LOL.
It's funny because I hate paying for expensive inanimate stuff. I just dropped $500 on a new camera. I felt like crying when I checked out of the shopping cart on Amazon.

Yes. I was upset that I had to spend $350 for a new 40 inch LCD tv, but wouldn't blink an eye to spend that on a snake.

This is so true ahaha
I'm at the point where a $500 snake is cheap  .. I'm pretty sure this kind of mentality isn't good for us... Some things are just WORTH it  . We just tell ourselves "eh... XXXX isn't that much " lol.

This is a great thread, hahaha. It's so true; I don't like spending money on most things but show me a nice snake and I'm there!
Herps are cool.
One of the attractions of outdoor pursuits activities for many people is that life is reduced to the barest essentials, and in the process a more intimate connection to the natural world is established. Food that would be trashed or fed to the dog at home tastes wonderful, a cup of murky water is much appreciated, and after a few days, even a thin sleeping pad can feel like a comfortable mattress as tired bones are able to rest after a hard day's work.

Haha, absolutely! I drop $150 on groceries and it seems so expensive, but I look at a $500 snake and I'll go beg my boyfriend to consider setting up another "snake area" for room

This is a great thread lol. I honestly couldnt agree more with everyone. When i had to buy a laptop for school it was $400. I complained about how expensive that was and blah blah blah.
At the last expo i spent close to $700 and came home with rats, various supplies, and 2 bps lol.
When you lay it out and compare it like that its like WOW but in the heat of the moment it doesnt seem like as much at all.

I agree, 250-300 on groceries: what happened? Why that much?!
The 47" LCD I got out of box $450: it's a great price, but crap that's a lot of money.
The leo pair I want: CMOOOOON it's only like $450 shipped! What a steal!
Or the cinny pair I want: it's $300 shipped for a female and we can go to Mike Wilbanks in the city for the male for $180 with tax! Pleeeeease! Haha.

Oh hell yes, if my wife went out and spent $500 on clothes I'd probably flip. But, if she bought a snake for that.... I would probably say good job babe!
