tubby34 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Just out of curiosity, does everyone here that mercilessly flames people for saving money and getting jerseys on eBay, etc, all pay for all the music they listen to?I'm aware it's a bit different.It's not hard to get any team and any player jersey on eBay cheap. And by cheap I mean 15-20. And no- I don't pay for music, all the music today is . When I did listen, I paid by buying te actual album in store.

With the ease of iTunes and the low pricepoint, why wouldn't I pay for music? Aside from the obvious theft issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawalkingcorpse Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Years of inflation. Textile prices have soared over the last 5 years. Oil/gas prices have gone through the roof which increases shipping.You guys should understand all this.I've bought all my music from iTunes or CDs.Cost of labor to make these has gone down. Like I have said.. 49.99 should be the ceiling on the cheaply made replica's. Quote I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now.

walby2 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Absolutely. With the ease of iTunes and the low pricepoint, why wouldn't I pay for music? Aside from the obvious theft issues.Note that the prices for music didn't come down until the recording industry started feeling the heat on their absurd prices with the rise of file sharing ($22 for a 25 cent CD? Really?).Hopefully the same thing will happen with the absurd prices for jerseys soon enough as the jersey makers feel the heat on their own absurd prices with the rise of offshore counterfeit manufacturing.

How some are 25 boggled my mind. I stopped buying albums when they hit 30 one day- I couldn't believe it. What pushed me was when the best buy manager told me he will price match the cd and I thanked him. When I asked who he was price matching he said best buy, they had it for sale 13 the day before. If they can put it in sale for 10-15, than the retail price can and should be lower and reasonable at 20 tops. Nothing should ever be on sale for 50% or more unless is been out for a while or is a loss leader. Especially when it's a 30 cd and on sale for 13 the day before.

imawalkingcorpse Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Don't get me started on the music industry. I will post one example of the stupidity of that industry. Metallica Ride The Lightning is a 13-17 dollar CD. 30 years old, should be able to be sold for no more than 9.99 Quote I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now.

Us high schoolers and college students did it like crazy, but we were a small minority. What really brought change was iTunes, with their legal downloads at reasonable prices and freeing consumers from buying a whole CD to get two good songs. I'm not sure there's a jersey equivalent.

Sodboy13 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Here's my jersey review. !That seems very, very accurate, to the point where I wonder if Nike's getting ripped off in-house at one of their overseas factories. I know the Steelers' sleeve stripes used to be a sewn-in insert - anyone know if that's carried over to the Nike overhaul?
