They Just Aren't Making Any More... Phasers

from Illusion of Prosperity by Stagflationary Mark:



They Just Aren't Making Any More... Phasers: In July of 2009, I bought this phaser from Amazon.com. It retailed for $28.95 at the time (plus $7.99 shipping and handling). No joke. Hey, what can I say? I keep receipts.

The price is now a whopping $79.95. For those keeping track at home, that's a 176% return on investment.

This confirms a few long standing theories of mine.

1. For most people, phasers are their biggest investment.
2. They just aren't making any more phasers.
3. People will always need a phaser to live.
4. With interest rates so low, phasers have never been more affordable.
5. If you paid your phaser off, it means you probably did not manage your funds efficiently over the years.
6. Phaser activity will remain healthy for some time to come.
7. The continuing shortages of phaser inventory are driving the price gains. There is no evidence of bubbles popping. "Only 2 left in stock--order soon."
