recapitatedWhat product brings a lot more value than its cost to purchase?
- A good quality belt. A cheap belt may last a year or two while a good one lasts decades but doesn’t cost 10x as much.
- Any sort of micro-mobility device (bikes, scooters, etc. or even costlier electric versions of these) that replaces a regular commute has good ROI over driving or even public transit (unless you’re lucky enough to live in a city where it’s free).
- A big sack of rice. It’s kind of insane how many meals you can get out of one of those.
JusticeForPorygonWhat I would give to have a Vespa
A_Random_IdiotI want an ebike. but fuck those things are expensive as hell.
If it replaces a car it’s cheap. Even replacing transit passes will save you money over some years.
This. I have calculated that the ebike I bought will pay itself off in about 2 years from all that not-driving I’m doing. That’s just from fuel/maintenance savings alone. If I factor in that my car is getting quite old and I would probably need to have replaced it by now, it has already paid for itself. (I still need a car for bad weather and certain hauling needs, but I drive it only sporadically these days so it’s lasting forever.)
great, i’ll run out to the money tree and pick a few grand.
My apologies for making a comment.
Ah, the Sam Vimes boots theory again.
