Oh, I can totally believe someone would. There are a lot of people in the world and by definition half of them are below IQ 100. There are people selling hand carved wood covered mech mods for 2 grand for that matter. Plus Christmas is coming. For someone on earth the budget for a Christmas present for some girly girl who is still into rhinestone everything and vapes is around $400. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they moved a few of them.

√ AFK Studio Rock Crystal Small Waistline Mech Kit .

I can't believe anyone would pay $399.99 for a mech. Covered in fake diamonds ?????????????

I bet Kylie Jenner of the Kardashians, would.

$300 is nothing. The Otto Carter "Tribal" mech mod sold for $3,000 when it was made in limited quantities back in the day. Hand-carved stainless steel.

For Brass, Copper, SS, etc. ones like Purge Mod's I think so. But I'm a fan of 2JNT's Pilak Mod's and pay around $420 for them. But then again they're made of 92.5% pure Silver and beautiful hand engraving.
Purge mod yes I would. I'm talking about the fake diamonds wrapped mod . As posted above some probably would by it??

Sold only to people with more money than brains. So yeah I could see a Kardashian buying one.
Who are we to judge how a billionaire spends their money?

Kylie Jenner made more money last year than all of the other Kardashians from her own cosmetics and clothing line. More money than brains? I don't know about that. It takes more than looks, money, and a name to make that kind of money.

I am only referring gaudy ugly mods priced like the one I mentioned. I am not by any means telling anyone not to/ or they can't buy. I am still saving up for my suicide king squonk mech. priced at the above . But buying a work of art I understand .

I don't understand why someone would want a mod covered (unless they are real) diamonds,which I would assume fake at only $399.99 ??? I guess I sturred up a hornets nest with this thread though ??lol.

You don't really believe she designed the cosmetics or clothing do you? Do you think she actually runs the day to day of the business? I'd bet my last dollar those business are wholly created and run by someone else and are just licensing her name in exchange for a cut. The sheep are buying it up in droves for the name only. It is pretty ingenious, just not by anyone named Jenner or Kardashian. By the way, this isn't the only celebrity doing this.

I don't really know, and neither do you. My "guess" is she has a select team of designers and technicians that bring her samples of potential products, and she chooses which ones to sell in her lineup. She probably has a business manager/CEO who handles the day to day operations of her company. Who, in her position, doesn't do that? I bet that she is pretty involved in the entire scheme of things.

Among the Millennial Generation, she is considered a "trend setter" and she has learned how to take advantage of that for her gain.
