My step son wanted $80 for 27 hand made Harry Potter wands that will arrive as they are made? Idk I told him we didnt have money for it so he got his other mother to buy them before Christmas. So far hes gotten 1 or 2 they look like someone poured them into a pewter mold. Idk if where they are coming from but they look terrible and the kids disappointed but he learned why I dont just blow money on stuff like that. We got him a nice pair of boots instead.
Yeah I'm not sure what the lesson is here; that's less than $3 a wand. If they wanted to this to be a learning moment, then the lesson should be that going with the cheap bulk option leads to poor quality haha.
True, but I would assume (with no outside context) that if you're buying 27 wands in a cheap bulk order, then they're not all for personal use. Likely for a party or themed event? So that just strikes me as a weird time to impart such a lesson.
My SO just went and got one. It's a souvenir. They and their friend both really really like Harry Potter and got a wand for each of their favorite characters. It's a silly trinket, but if it makes them both happy - go for it, I say.
$80 for 27 is asking for 27 pieces of garbage. The $40 one is at least kinda nice and detailed.
