40 Things People ‘ Bought For Life’ And They Didn’ t Disappoint New Pics

Publish Not your original work? Add source Buyer beware!

A century-old adage that still remains very much true today. In our highly commercialized world, there are so many cheaply produced products wrapped in attractive packaging that likely cause owners nothing but trouble.

Whether we're talking about planned obsolescence, poor-quality manufacturing, companies taking shortcuts while thinking beyond profits, or consumers falling victim to misleading bargains, it's frustrating to see products break down in mere seconds. But what if you find such a high-quality product that you never need to buy that item again? Ever?

For the rest of your life?! Here's where the 'Buy It For Life' (BIFL) subreddit comes in.

With over 1.3 million members, it's dedicated to "practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last". Think of a toaster from the 1920s. Or a refrigerator that celebrated its 99th birthday this month!

Below, we hand-picked some of the most interesting and surprising photos of things that stood the test of time and continue to serve people for years to come. So continue scrolling through to enjoy this inspiring collection, be sure to upvote your favorite pics, and let us know if you own any long-lasting items you only bought once in the comments below. Psst!

When you're finished with this list, more of the same goods can be found in Bored Panda's previous posts on the same feature here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. This post may include affiliate links. #1

WarrenCluck Report Final score: 434points POST Piper Panda Piper Panda Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 weeks ago Wonderful job!!! 73 73points reply View more comments "Durable, Quality, Practical": this is the tagline that the 'Buy It For Life' subreddit greets its members with. As the person who founded this online community, user Petrarch1603, detailed in their mission statement, the group initially started off as a spin-off of the 'Shut Up And Take My Money' sub.

"I noticed that sometimes there are high-quality useful products there that I'm interested in buying," they explained. "Unfortunately, I also noticed a lot of gimmicks [and] cheaply made products there too. Nevertheless, this is a great reddit and I would like this reddit to be a companion to SUTMM." However, since BIFL was founded in 2011, it has become more than twice the size of its predecessor.

The forum "is intended to fill a niche for only high-quality and durable products," the user added. And a brief scroll through this proves the members certainly deliver.

80 80points reply View More Replies... View more comments Previously, one of the moderators who takes care of the sub was kind enough to share what commonly shared products they see on the forum. "The most popular items I see based on what's posted are: Stanley Thermos, Darn Tough Socks, Kitchen Aid mixers, Red Wing boots, and pots and pans, particularly cast iron," they told Bored Panda.

We were also curious to learn what factors allow these items to persevere for as long as they do. "I'm not an expert by any means but I think there are a few factors," they said.

"Most products are built to be as cheap as possible .... and poorly assembled (maybe partly due to planned obsolescence but mostly just due to the fact that people in general like spending less). The products that you see lasting longer are often made of higher-quality material and care when built.

But they're also priced accordingly." #7

View more comments Unfortunately, a lot of today's products are built with planned obsolescence in mind.

This phenomenon refers to various strategies that make a product seem undesirable, useless, and unwanted. According to Andrea Soke, co-founder of Durability Matters, there are four types of planned obsolescence that companies use to make a profit: contrived durability (when parts break down intentionally), software updates, perceived obsolescence (when a customer is convinced they need an updated product), and prevention of repair. "Companies can use all of the above or a combination of all four.

The ultimate goal is to make you buy products again and again," Soke wrote. And thankfully, she also provided a few examples of how to watch out for the products that are going to fall victim. "Before you buy a product, think about two things: do you need it?

And, is it going to last? Just because you are purchasing an expensive product, it does not mean that you are getting one that is going to last." #10

"The results showed that if shoppers had information on product lifespan, they would choose to buy longer-lasting items: on average, a product's sales increased by 56% if its lifetime was longer than competing products'," the researchers wrote.

"Of the products tested, purchases of suitcases (+128%) and printers (+70%) were influenced the most by displaying the lifetime." #19

View more comments The study looked at two pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption and "green buying". "If you are able to buy environmentally friendly products, you can still live your materialist values," researcher Sabrina Helm said. "You're acquiring new things, and that fits into our mainstream consumption pattern in our consumer culture, whereas reduced consumption is more novel and probably more important from a sustainability perspective." On the flip side, "Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-being and decreased psychological distress, but we don't see that with green consumption." According to Helm, having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied.

Though I d Share This Here This Dryer Came With My House And It Still Works Amazing See Description

I've never had a problem with it not drying fully on a standard 20 minute cycle, never had a problem with lint clogging (cleaning the filter and ducts as recommended of course), and I love the simplicity. About a year ago, it wasn't drying and when I opened it, there was a schematic, and on the schematic was a written note that a repair was made in 1980!

The issue was a broken belt, which I was able to replace very easily. I would estimate this to be from the 70's and it still functions as if it was new!
