    Never ever wrap a ziptie around a limb or anywhere on your body.

      Not for safety reasons, but because you’d be forfeiting $700 in profit by not selling it to some brain dead one-percenter.

      Unless you spent $700 on it. Then you should wrap it as tight as you can, preferably around your neck

      Whenever I get to know brands like these I wonder how many $800+ clothes I have unknowingly seen on people that I just thought of “damn, that’s ugly.” and went on with my day.

    It’s just like any other scam: find gullible people, convince them that what you’re selling is for some reason worth what you’re asking, trade them shit for gold, repeat.

      Well…here it is… It’s a small city and for a flat but that converted to EUROS is more or less the rent. That said not a lot of flats to choose from and they are old.

      If you can get a ziptie around your waist, you’re already dead.

        If you can’t get this ziptie around your waist, you’re probably going to die soon

        You don’t need to get it around your whole waist, you just need to connect two loops.
