Expensive goods are bought precisely because they are consistently expensive, and the benefit that the buyer receives is the hope of a win-win investment in money savings (for example, the purchase of gold, jewelry, furs, land, houses, apartments, paintings, items of applied art, rarities ). And since they are consistently expensive, i.e. the price of these goods tends to increase, then there is still the same hope - to profit from tomorrow's prices.

We spent the day there and spent the night in the theater. And these were happy days, and the charter said that we renounce titles and do not have the right to have them. But life is a cruel thing. Families appeared, it was necessary to earn money, then cars, apartments, walls and other nonsense appeared, which ruined creativity. Titles appeared and the art ended there.
