    Damn, I wasn’t aware of that rule, maybe worth it for another community 😅

      Retrogear probably. Makes sense to exclude stuff like that from buyforlife since there a good chance it’s survivorship bias to have lasted this long.

      There does seem to be a steady quality drop in consumer goods. Yes they are more affordable, but also seem to have shorter and shorter warranties and lifespans that more than makes up for it. (See our 4 year dishwasher, 5 year LG fridge, the plethora of 5-7year water heaters (they used to be 20 year replacement items)). It’s really frustrating.
