EVERY COOL THING WE WANT

There are 8 comments

  1. The switch costs less than a dollar. The socket attached costs about $2.

    I’m all for exercising creativity and the people who exhibit if making money, but $200? Hipster nonsense.

  2. Darcy nailed it. this is pathetic and typical of the too much cash not enough brains of the I want this school of hipsters that populate vanshitty.

    anyone over the age of 7 can make this in 45 minutes.

    aaaaah want to scream

  3. Fascinating takes, fellas. Because something is easy to make should never cancel one’s desire for it, and the whole “hipster” thing is just…well…the laziest sort of off-hand condemnation. Thanks for the comments just the same.

  4. Cool things I want #1

    $200 Cash, I’m willing to trade the above item for it too. 😉

    Next week I will be offering modded coat hangers interested into a chestnut block that resemble the rabbit ears of our youth, expect they’ll pick up OTA HD channels. Pre-order now for only $300.

  5. I think the lamp is desirable. It is simplistic in stye and represents an homage to Edison – a true artist take on an Edison orignal.
    If someone can make one in 45 minutes, go right ahead. Please post the
    picture, if not – …… please get help for your bitterness.
    I like the concept of this lamp. It leaves a uncluttered feeling with
    clean lines.
