Got a small forests worth of circulars yesterday, time to get a new 'no circulars' sticker. I flicked through them and stopped in my tracks when I saw te warehouse advertising $20,000 engagement rings.

Who is their market? Imagine it. Bride to be, showing off her $20k engagement ring. Ooohs and aaahs, you're so lucky, how much did it cost him? $20k she replies proudly. Oooo it's beautiful. Where'd he get it from? Te Warehouse. Oh, oh that's terrible, oh I'm so sorry.

I could understand rings up to a couple of grand selling there. But honestly? If you were spending 20k on a ring, would the warehouse be on your places to visit?

Why the fuck did an engagement ring catch your attention should be the pressing concern big fella.

Are you fucking mental?

I'm pretty sure that some of their customers could convince WINZ to cover the cost!

The price of a fairly decent bike on a finger???

Don't blame the warehouse.
They are targeting their clientele perfectly.
Do you know how much gold it takes to go around those chubby digits. Its just a normal engagement ring - 'supersized' to fit.
They also will soon sell $100K shocks for Previa's.......if you don't think anyone needs $100K shocks in a Previa, I suggest you go for a drive through south auckland.

Been mental for years brother. And it didn't catch my attention, the $20,000 price from the warehouse caught my eye.

Funny you say that,the last time I got engaged/married,she got a ring,I wanted something to the same value,so I got a new R6,I was wrapped with the deal
But I can assure you I would not have looked or purchased the said ring from "The Wharehou"
