however, upon looking further inspection of the website, i've found some things sold here that are rather odd, impractical, and overpriced. items such as:
Himalayan singing bowls: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=84678&promo=Personal-Care-Home-Spa
an LED face rejuvenator: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=84836&promo=Personal-Care-Home-Spa
a 25k dollar wood burning hot tub that looks like a tugboat and floats on water: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=13016&promo=Category-NewArrivals
a 10k dollar carousal for kids: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=13087&promo=Category-NewArrivals
a 2,500 dollar electric shopping scooter because fuck having legs: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=88188&promo=Category-NewArrivals
tibetan prayer wheels: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=90149&promo=Category-NewArrivals
an infrared spa that costs 14k dollars:

a power nap capsule that costs 25k: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=76362&promo=Personal-Care-Home-Spa
a himalayan salt therapy dome: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=88680&promo=Personal-Care-Home-Spa
and a race car simulator that costs almost 200k dollars: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=12677&promo=Toys-Games-Arcade-Rec-Room
and this is just scratching the surface. there's other shit here that makes me a little more envious about most rich people

Well. I haven't thought about Hammacher Schlemmer since the 80s, so this was a fun nostalgia trip.

 

[TwinkleSnort]

Only $95,000.00 each? I'll take two.

BEHOLD

The Handcrafted Hippopotamine Sofa

[Ol' Slag]

This is actually pretty neat.

 

[Ido]

http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=12543&promo=Home-Living-Home-Decorating

Just $100,000

 

[Rotogravure]

I won't lie, I love stores like this. Toscano, Sharper Imagine, Hammer Schlemmer, Brookstone and the recently dearly departed in print Skymall.

The hippo couch though does not look very comfortable at all.

you're probably right about that. it's probably a very fucking uncomfortable chair, but you know what? imagine the stories you could tell about having that.

Ahhh Hammacher Schlemmer.
For those unfamiliar with the brand, it's like Target for the nouveau riche.
It's a series of high cost goofy little items for people who haven't had money before and want to show off, but aren't quite sure how.

Well. I haven't thought about Hammacher Schlemmer since the 80s, so this was a fun nostalgia trip.

I was going to post this too

My parents used to get this back in the 1990s.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

For that kind of money I'd just buy a damn race car.
