Or for those who just have to spend a lot on the latest gadgets, just to feel, well, something. They have the right to spend their money whichever way they choose, and online shopping is there to assist them.

Oh, dear

But you’re not here for short answers, are you? You’re here to bathe in life’s vast options. Also: The 6 best cheap vacuum cleaners I was instantly uplifted, of course. Who doesn’t dream of a vacuum cleaner with headlights and a Wi-Fi connection? Don’t you always do your vacuuming in the dark? I do. And all this for $499.99, the very definition of an expensive gadget.

Pricey, but on sale

I won’t dwell, however. There was so much more joy here.  What a bargain this was. It was 33% off, which meant it was $1,999. Yes, definitely expensive. Can you imagine that someone would pay $2,999 for a voice-controlled calf massager? I think I can, even if it is taupe colored. Also: The best VR headsets The mere idea of a space pirate trainer being included by the low price of $399 was frightfully tempting. Then I realized I know no one who has one of these things and no one who’s ever expressed an interest either. I concluded this was one step from obsolete. It offered the “Hiboy KS4/KS4 Pro Electric Scooter, Upgraded 500W Motor(Ver. KS4 350W), 19 MPH 25 Miles Range(Ver. KS4 17 Miles), 8”&10" Tires Escooter, Foldable Commuting Electric Scooter for Adults(Optional Seat)." 25% off at a piffling $449.99. Also: The best electric scooters Next to it was the “Hikmicro B1L 160 x 120 IR Resolution Thermal Imaging Camera with WiFi, 25Hz Refresh Rate, 3.2” LCD Screen, Handheld 19200 Pixels Infrared Thermal Imager with High Temperature Alarm." Yet this was $429.

Dear, dear, dear

Sample: the “Multitool Plier – 12 in 1 Camping Plier Multitool, Professional Camping Accessories Survival Gear Outdoor Compact Multi-Tool Gadgets.” Yours for $11.99, but it’s not exactly the Gucci of gadgets, is it? Also: This replaced my multitool gadget for a fraction of a cost  As I scrolled down, losing hope that the wealthy would find anything here that truly moved them – oh, but how do I know? The wealthy can be very strange – I was suddenly entranced by a gun-like object. This was the “Stoeger XM1 Bullshark - .177 Caliber - Black Synthetic with Multi-Grip System and Buttstock Spacers.” Yes, I can imagine that more than one person may instantly misread those last two words in an unfortunate manner, but $479 for an airgun? Even if it does have “Olympic grade accuracy.” I did feel the company’s algorithm got a touch desperate when, at the bottom of the search page, it suggested: “Air Fryer Cookbook for Beginners: 1500 Affordable, Quick & Easy Recipes for Delicious Homemade Meals | Tips & Tricks to Fry, Grill, Roast, and Bake.”
