“It’s not the guy asking who’s stupid, but the one who’s buying”
As long as there are people buying, there will be people selling.
It’s possible to bargain the price, the stone are not on the same weight and shape.
rookies… proper marketing would increase sales. jungfrau Gletscher Steine or something alike )
I disagree a bit on this view because you can also find wood by yourself and could make coal with it and still poeple buy it or a more used thing water how much from you buy water but have water at home.. you dont pay for the stone you pay for your laziness like for every other nature product also. The list is long mushrooms, ramsons, peppermint, lavendel and many other things
Monty Python joke?
When I was living in the US there was a guy that would collect leaves in the fall and ship them to people in states that didn’t have anything like that. I think he charged them like $25.
That’s not so weird, they also sell rocks at Landi. It’s just convenient if you need a lot of rocks
For anyone wondering why an arts&craft store sells rocks like that:
During the pandemic many people went nuts for rock painting. The reason is probably not the painting itself, but what they do with them.
The idea is to hide them in parks or other public places. Then, when someone finds it, they’re encouraged to snap an image and post it in a facebook group. (That is usually written on the rock’s backside). They can then keep the rock or hide it again.
I suspect many people do this for the social media aspect to it rather than the painting part. Looking at some I found (without posting of FB, fuck that shit) it seems they let their kids paint the rocks and “cash in” on the social media clout (if you can call it that) themselves.
Selling the rocks like that is purely for convenience of the buyer. You don’t have to go looking for appropriate rocks yourself.
Personally I never did any of that myself, but I didn’t really mind this trend. That is until it became actually obnoxious. People scouring river beds for rocks got old fast, specially when they took them by the bag full.
Taking a single rock from a river bed is no big deal, but when they come in hordes and take as much as they can carry it’s bad. Can’t imagine the river creatures appreciated having their habitat upset like that.
So, I approve of this box, unless those rocks were sourced the same way.
Yes, but if you pick up a stone from anywhere else it‘s s felony, you‘re facing fines in the hundrets. If you can‘t pay, you‘re going to jail.
I‘m joking btw, this is ridiculous.
I can see how people would buy that while they are shopping and visiting a craft shop. Craft shops sell many things that could also be found somewhere else (dried pieces of wood, dried flowers, planting pots etc.) cheaper. Sometimes insipiration comes while visiting a shop and then they can grab a nice looking stone for whatever they are doing.
Any toddler will agree they are « good rocks ». Perfectly worth the price, I recommend.
do-it at least sells such rocks with pre drilled holes in them so you can do some crafty stuff with strings through them or whatever…
This can only be the „Bastelhuus“ in Aarau 😂
Inflation.
How many did you get?
They have that price because of crypto dip… Stone price will rise again, I suggest to invest on it now
The stones are surely Swiss quality. Only available to Swiss. Waiting for the hot air in the same Swiss quality.
Do they sell pet rocks? Or theyre no fully donesticated?
When you’re in need to throw a stone at your friend.
You clearly don’t have kids… Some stones are (apparently) things of great beauty that must be stuffed into bags and pockets at every opportunity, to be forgotten about until laundry day. This makes them highly valuable 😉
Shit, I thought that was only possible with —bitcoins—
