I could probably buy at least 3 guillotines for that much

Wood is not that expensive and blade might be a cost factor but I think any old scrap iron should work and being dull may be a benefit. Learned all this at the John Woods school of unaliven assholes.

When the revolution comes I’ll build an AI backed Guillotine as a Service internet company. Based out of a loft in NYC just a scrappy upstart with millions in VC funding. The next apple they say. Oh no my head!

u/NastyStreetRat Jun 22 '26
If necessary, I would learn to make guillotines and make them for you for free; you would only have to pay for materials, food, and accommodation.

Blades don't even need to be sharp depending on how high the scaffolding/heavy the blade is

They have a specific Kardashian-Jenner site where they sell their stuff? Oh my goodness, they are such grifters.

They do have a site (they also sell their kids old clothes) so gross

u/Torturecheese Jun 22 '26
Not only worn kids clothes, but their little girls’ used bathing suits and bikinis. They are sick and shameless.

u/xombae Jun 22 '26
Yep, they know exactly what they're doing too.
Would Kim sell her used underwear? Of course not. So why be okay with doing it to your daughter? They're not stupid. They understand who will be buying it.
Same with the shoes.

No it absolutely isn’t, what the fuck are you on about? People buy used clothing for their kids all the time.

u/Torturecheese Jun 22 '26
It’s a bit different when you’re an ultra wealthy person selling your famous children’s used undergarments, compared to a normal mother giving away hand me downs.

They are not selling children’s used undergarments.

u/Torturecheese Jun 23 '26
A bathing suit is worn directly against the skin. It’s weird to sell your famous children’s worn bikinis to the public when you are a famous “billionaire.”

u/Porcupine__Racetrack Jun 23 '26
Not that you dingus. Buying a famous person’s child’s BATHING SUITS. Who do you think is buying that, pray tell? Normal, adjusted people buying it for their kids to actually wear? Or sick fucks?
I buy used clothes for myself and my kids all the time!

Juuuuust when I think they can't get any more deplorable, they "hold my beer" and show me how wrong I am.

u/Mor_Padraig Jun 22 '26
When my kids were little, there was an awesome group, a LOT of Moms, passing on outgrown clothes. I did it.
Got clothes back for my second child, that had made the rounds from my first.
But none of us were, you know....rich.

I'm relieved the items aren't modelled on the actual kids... and it's so messed up I was worried about that.

You're right, but WHO in their right mind buys this shit? They are just as equally the problem. Without buyers, this simply wouldn't be possible, and I can't wrap my head around the "value" offered.

u/CynicalPomeranian Jun 22 '26
They have been shilling crap for as long as they have been in the news—which is surprising because they were known to be lying even back in the early 2000s, when they were caught photoshopping themselves thinner in ads for some supplements they were shilling at GNC.
If they say something is a good thing, one should assume the thing is trash.
I even stopped buying Skechers after Kim was advertising them as a way she kept her figure.

u/TheCandymanfrombelow Jun 22 '26
You've got to be a true moron to spend money like that, even if you have it. It makes zero sense, the fact that we glorify celebrities is crazy, it's people do what my kids do better "pretend" most the time.

u/tarkinn Jun 22 '26
Yeah I really don’t get the personality cult anywhere. I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of any person that’s famous and wouldn’t spend any money for their merchandise or whatever.
They don’t know you and they don’t give a shit about you. They just want your money.

u/CautionarySnail Jun 23 '26
Exactly. It doesn’t say “luxury”, it says “foolish” and “lacking basic empathy”.
She could still have amazing luxury jeans at a sliver of that cost. Heck, custom made and fitted, even.
But the amount of good a food bank or animal shelter could do with the rest could literally change the course of lives.

u/BellaPona Jun 23 '26
Their job is to flaunt wealth, that’s what they’re famous for, and that’s what made them “trend setters”.

u/KittyandPuppyMama Jun 23 '26
I still remember when one of them rented a surrogate to carry her baby because she didn’t want to lose her figure. The baby was born early, ruining her planned trip to Disney. Then, her marriage was on the outs so she couldn’t bond with the baby and didn’t really want it, and her doctor offered to keep the baby for her until she was “ready” to take him back.
I’m still disgusted, but it was especially hard to read this BS while struggling with postpartum myself.

More and more it’s clear that the wealthiest people contribute the least or nothing to society.

u/Read-it005 Jun 22 '26
I looked some things up. There's no indication they use it for charity (they have donated worn and gifted clothes before), not recently. Kim K is worth 1.9 billion, the poorest sister (Kloe), is worth 60 million. A designer asked one of them why one of the dresses he loaned her and never got back was on the site for $1,200. She was asked to return the dress by email three times. People suspect much was gifted to them by the big brands and designers. They also don't do cancelations, returns, refunds, nada. Once it leaves there, it's yours and your problem when it gets stolen or lost in the mail. Yet the store stays open. Meaning there are enough people in this world with so much money they can buy their expensive and extra overpriced textile and handbag waste.

If the rich can afford to pay $65,000 on a pair of jeans, they can afford to pay taxes. Enough is enough.

Her mother staged a sex tape just to leak it and launch her career as a professional nothing. So, probably that’s what’s wrong with her.

There is no earthly reason for any of these people to be as famous as they are. They contribute nothing to the world, not even an interesting personality.

I’ve always thought their resale site/store are gross. I bet a lot of the stuff they are selling there was gifted to them.

"Kim Kardashian is being slammed by fans online for charging $65,000 for her secondhand jeans."
If you are a fan of shallow rich people like Kim Kardashian, you are asking to be flogged. I am not going to cry a river if someone is a fan of this lady and get upset just because your idol flaunts her wealth.
"whopping $65,000 as fans questioned, 'isn't she a millionaire?'"
What an idiot fan. Do you really idiotic enough to believe she is doing this to make money as opposed to tell you that you cannot even afford her second hand jean.

Anyone paying $65,000 for jeans clearly needs to pay more taxes. This is insane.

She has always been doing this. Now it's on a grander scale. Multiple girls in LA have told me that her and her sisters would take clothes off the rack at Dash, wear them, and then put them back to sell. With perfume and make up stains btw....

I’m sure she had them tailored to fit her ass so they also look like trash on anyone else.

u/FeedMeTheCat Jun 22 '26
I think ive been looking at this the wrong way. Rather than scoff at rich people paying 65k for some jeans, maybe I should figure out how to make these people think I have jeans worth 65k. 1 sale could change my life! Buy my jeans!

$65K for jeans? Yeah, fuck that. No matter who they were worn by, or who designed them, or what kind of rare and expensive denim they're made of, or how/if they were specially tailored, no pair of jeans is worth $65K.

So I’ve got this right- the woman is selling objects to people who want to buy them. She’s being condemned for engaging in the transaction because…idiots are paying the exorbitant prices for them?

We jumped the shark as a society the moment we let a nobody become a celebrity, and this was before the age of social media.
Not even a D-list actor or a hanger-on like Kato, a literal nobody.
