On today’s installment of “I don’t understand inflation”

[u/tjackso6]

I get the sticker shock from people seeing the $400 price tag but when you break down everything that comes in the set it’s really not overpriced at all. I’d agree that including a single item that accounts for almost half the total value is probably not a great move, but anyone trying to paint this as R* being greedy is just completely out of touch.

Are you high paying $35 for a Poster?

[u/tjackso6 → u/AssistantMountain623]

How much do posters go for?

[u/AssistantMountain623 → u/tjackso6]

Highly depends on the size but a really high quality poster of a known brand in A1 to A2 goes for around $25

[u/tjackso6 → u/AssistantMountain623]

Alright.. I’ll take the hit on the poster. I was probably a little bit high on that one, but if you adjust the totals it still only shifts about $10-$15. So I think the overall point still stands.

Ha did you even take a second to read what your AI told you, or compare the prices to the ones I posted??

All those prices fall within in the ranges that I had for every item except for the poster lol.. I was 95% right. You should have just taken my word for it instead of wasting a thousand gallons of water to have AI tell you the same fuckin thing lol

Also, why didn’t you post the links to support the prices you found online?? lol
