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 :P.. I'm pretty sure this kind of mentality isn't good for us... Some things are just WORTH it :D. We just tell ourselves "eh... XXXX isn't that much :P" lol.

Ok but to make yourself feel better, walk into a pet store........................
Normal ball $79.99................ I sell those for $15 or $20 :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

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!:D

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.:gj:

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!
