@@Lifecomesfromwithin Not $1,200 worth. Yes I know because I've been doing carpentry since the age of about seven or eight, so almost 30 years now.

Someone was willing to pay that for it, and apparently, that's what really counts, not some objectively calculated added value. Keep supporting our current, hegemonic economic system, and this shit will never end.

you’re not only paying for the table you also pay to have an entire video made about the construction of your table

@@alexsmith5274 Thanks for agreeing with my premise while at the same time, correcting me on the specifics. Yes, that's added value through the additional labor of recording the whole thing under high production standards, including post production editing and whatnot. It's added labor value, there's no way around it, in fact, his addition of labor value with the video, has made me post comments, which in turn makes the algorithm work and make for the channel to reach further.

This comment is what made me decided to sub to the channel. The sheer diss 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Well the type of wood, grain of wood, and it being handmade really helps the value. And as he said, he agreed on $1000 for the desk so it was really only a $1000 desk. It wouldn’t be worth as low as $300 just because of the wood and it being handmade.

Ofcourse, you are buying a story.

@@sappersilver7762 I've got a super nice L-shaped desk that an modern industrial look. I paid $1750 for it. I listed it for sale on craigslist for $350. It was in perfect condition like new. I couldn't even get $200 for it.

someone with a factory mass producing this exact table could cut the build time down 3 hours and sell the table for $300, and then when people come to your house they will say, “oh nice table I saw that at Costco”.

@@BrianHAviation your mistake for paying that much then. I don’t know anything about the table that you described, but you didn’t mention the type of wood, or whether it was handmade or not. Just because something looks good doesn’t mean it’s worth a lot. (Not saying that something that looks bad can be worth a lot though)

Yeah i cringed so hard. We all know it's a simple fix but breaking something as it's being delivered is literally what nightmares are made of

@@gordjohn2322agreed! I’m her first subscriber now! Either way, I appreciate this comment. It’s super wholesome.

Right? All he did was cut it down, sand/varnish, and buy legs off Amazon that were made in Taiwan. How that added up to 1200$ is beyond me

There's a sucker born every day, the real trick is spotting them.

its that internet clout. its not just a desk, its a desk other people on the internet wanted, but "you go it". From a modernly famous people on the internet.

It’s not just about the cost of materials; it took him 12hrs of labor. He only charged $1,000 for it. The customer basically tipped him $200. You can set your hourly rate at whatever you want when you work for yourself. I’m guessing his hourly rate is $60. $60 x 12hrs = $780 Plus $170 for materials = $950 And probably a $50 delivery and installation fee. Makes sense to me.

@@aliveandwell3958 it works out mathematically but he simply ripped him off... if I bought a plain stainless steel kitchen knife from amazon for £20 then took 12 hours to put my maker's mark on it, give it a new handle, re temper it and resharpen it, no one is buying that knife for 1,200 because at the end of the day it was a £20 knife, at the absoloute max you could get £100 regardless of the fact I put 12 hours into it

@@jessiejanson1528 Yeah, never too sure about that, either: I got impatient with some Rustoleum enamel spray paint on my bathroom's laundry chute flapper door & frame; there was some rust due to scratches; I did some good sanding work, and feathered it out pretty well, and first coat looked SUPER nice, but then, I noticed an area that didn't get fully coated; but I got impatient, and tried to 2nd coat it too soon, and it ~dissolved the first coat: it got all 'pruney', and started peeling off...so, had to clean off all the soft/loose stuff, let it 'cure' for a couple more days before I could sand it again, and then repaint... It looks like a real amateur job (which, of course, it IS...), but I have a lot more work to do on that bathroom's walls, plumbing, so, maybe I'll go back at it, again, later.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
