10k for a bicycle, but $50 pen out of her price range

[Gregf]

I recently quoted a Facebook friend $50 for a Sierra pen. A Drop Anchor label cast and a TiGold Berea kit. My friends and family price. She declined that it was out of her price range. Same person that spent $10k for a bicycle. Good for a chuckle.

Its a matter of perceived value.

I've been in the same place and reached the same conclusion. You just move on to the next customer.

Only a Person of quality can see quality, it's when you take one out to right and the person comments on the looks and never seen a quality of pen, that the sale is made, you know bike has more bragging rights, I really see and hear the shallowness of a person when you hear them say, you know how much that bike or car cost, I call that bragging right and deep in debt, a Pen is a personal thing.

Well, if she dropped $10k on a bicycle, it's no wonder she doesn't have the $50 for a nice pen.

I would tell her Bic pens are pen for a dollar.
