While I will pay for quality in an item up to a point, for me there are limits. I could buy a number of suitcases for far less than $2k, throw them away if they ever break and still come out better than buying a $2k suitcase.

You just don't have enough money to throw at stuff.

It's all relative....

Except nice things often work way nicer than the cheap "equivalent"

Spend the right amount and you are operating at a 9-10 vs 5-6 and not having to deal with getting a replacement over and over as well...

Its like comparing a $75 Tasco to a Vortex Razor or Nightforce...

You get past a certain (very high) threshold and a kind of magic takes over.

The best film camera Nikon ever made was the F5. I've owned so many Nikons over the years that I've learned to appreciate them for their quirks and strengths. The F5, though, was different. Even more than my F, which was a wonderful classic, the F5 just speaks to you when you pick it up. Everything is in the right place. The feel of the thing screams quality, screams "You can build your career with me." I can't hold my F5 without smiling.

At a certain level, quality just makes your heart happier every time you pick up an object. The F5 did that for me. The Chanel bag did it for my mother. And while I don't think a piece of luggage could do it for me, I won't begrudge anyone their feelings on the matter.

I bought a stich for stich WWII reproduction A2 jacket. Pricy, but it just makes me happy.

It's hard to put a price on happiness. For example, I would be happy if every democrat went to hell in a handbasket, and I can't find a price for that anywhere

My Ruger and Wilson Combat both go bang, but one does it much better!

Sam Brinton, a senior Energy Department (DOE) official, was charged with stealing a traveler's luggage in the Minneapolis airport in September, shortly before quietly taking a leave of absence.

Brinton — who serves as the DOE's deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition — allegedly took a Vera Bradley suitcase worth $2,325 from the luggage carousel at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport (MSP) on Sept. 16, according to a criminal complaint filed on Oct. 26 in Minnesota state court and obtained by Fox News Digital. Brinton had traveled from Washington, D.C., to MSP that day.

While the US Public Health Service is one of the seven Uniformed Services of the United States, like NOAA it NOT a military department or armed service/branch of the military.

The seven services are Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Cadets, Coast Guard, NOAA, and USPHS.
