Its great to have nice stuff. Who wouldn't like to own the best of everything. Because of budget constraints 99.999999% of us can't own the best of everything but we can own a few items that we believe are the best in class. Owning a few of these items can give us the pleasure of ownership and a sense of pride. Function, form and craftsmanship combine to make products different from the norm. I have several of these products so I photographed a few of them in this photograph.

Reos on the left. Who here would argue that the Reos aren't some of the best vaping items one can buy. The black Grand is 3 years old and still keeps getting better and better. Backed by great customer service, durable, versatile and fully functional, the Reos fall into the great category of things to own and feel good about. Made in the USA.

Bread pan on the right. This is the item that made me make this photo. This is a Usapans loaf pan. I just got this pan last week and its just the cat's meow. Its made in Pennsylvania. These pans rock. They are rugged and function perfectly. My grandchildren will be able to use Grandpa's pan 50 years from now. The bread falls right out and browns beautifully.

Lastly is the Themopens thermometer. I believe these are made in England. They make a thermometer that reads the temperature in 2 seconds. This ones takes 5 seconds. The difference in price is $99 vs $19 so I got the $19 one. This thing works great and I love using it. I checked the calibration and it was perfect.

Anyone else care to share some things that they have the same feelings about? Please do.

Man no time for pics but I agree. Some things are worth having quality even if it's a little more expensive.

REOs are just awesome vaping devices. I really need no other.

Here's a list of things it pays to have quality. Please note quality is not necessarily related to price.

Home
Car
Appliances
Tools
Guitars
Shoes
Pens (if you write a lot like me)
Winter Jackets
Women

Feel free to add :)

More of the 'middle of the road' kind of guy. I enjoy tirelessly researching to find the best product for my needs, at the most responsible price (I'm poor so YMMV). I wouldn't say I own anything top of the line. I'd love to have a Reo, oh yes, I have a 'so so' mechanical and a decent VV mod that meet any needs I may have.

Ya know what.... work boots. I would have to say I splurge on work boots.

Didn't realize I was starving until I saw the bread. Thanks for that :p

Time for a 'mayter sandwhich'

I'm an amateur foodie so I hear you on good baking/cooking supplies.

My vaping gear is about as simple as it gets, just a little eGo with assorted tanks and many juices - but at least for now I can't be without those things.

I've also been known to threaten serious harm to unauthorized people touching either my tablet... or my cello. :D

Whatever works for anyone should be good enough. Price doesn't matter....be happy with what you own. I have the Provari Mini, Zmax Mini, Vamo 5, and a SID. From what I've been reading here many, many people seem to really enjoy the REO. Might have to try one.

Nice Pics ltrainer thanks for posting them!!!!

The best and most expensive are not always synonyms.

My best possession is my Wife of 29 Years. No Recall necessary. Add Family, Faith and Friends to that.
In addition; Ford F-150, 4 REOS, and my home. A 15 year old, 1250 sq. ft. plus attached Garage on an acre all the way in the back of a 40 Home subdivision stuck 8 miles from nowhere. Enjoy morning coffee looking out French doors at woodlands behind us. May not be a Castle, but it's Home. A 55" 200,000/1 resolution Visio TV makes for good football watching as well.
