dbest 4-in-1 Rolling Luggage/Duffel/Backpack/Dolly
- One bag has one zipper and is $9 cheaper than the other bag; the other bag is $9 more expensive and has 2 zippers.
- Which is a needlessly complicated way of saying: choose between a 1 or 2 zipper model.
- “4-in-1” because it’s rolling luggage, a duffel, a backpack, and a lightweight dolly.
- Which is a cooler way of saying: you can carry the bag a bunch of ways, and there’s a dolly.
- Models: 01-012 & 01-688… so I guess that answers the question posed in the write-up. An extra zipper is worth 676 model number points.
From 5 To 9
We sold these just a couple months ago, but it seems like we were so young then. We thought: are people really going to pay five more dollars for a little bit more unzippability? We even exaggerated the difference in the write-up as a joke, thinking: sure, some are going to want that extra accessibility, but a lot of people are just looking for something functional for as cheap as possible.
We were so arrogant, so naive.
The actual sales breakdown helped us see the light:
So, this time, we’re trying something a little different. We’re dropping the price of both but not by the same amount: for the one with multiple zippers, the price will be just a buck lower, whereas, the single-zipper version will be a whopping $5 less than last time. For those keeping score at home: that’s now a $9 difference between the two.
In some ways, this isn’t simply a sale; it’s an experiment. We want to answer the question: what is a zipper truly worth? Which itself is another question in disguise: can a numerical value be placed on the very concept of added accessibility? Can we know, once and for all, what someone is willing to pay for a marginal increase in ease?
Lol, jk, we just want to unload some bags.
