What kind of extension cords do LV owners use?

[Chagall]

Don’t be daunted by people that flaunt their huge collection of cords. Remember that everyone was a novice collector at some time. Just smile and hold your head high as you plug in your entry level cord.

I was thinking about taking my new extension cord out yesterday, but it was raining. Part of me feels like I should just use it and not worry, but another part of me is worried that might hurt the resale value.

We've all been there, we can relate. Remember, it is meant to be loved, not to collect dust in a closet. Just like that first scratch on your brand new car, the first drop of rain on a new EC puts a pit in your stomach.
Here's a way to boost resale value to compensate for signs of wear: Photobomb a famous person with yourself and your EC and use the photo to goose up that sucker when it hits The Real Real. How? Attend book signings with famous authors, sports games with professional athletes, or other such events. Try not to end up in jail, bodyguards get really testy with fans who get too close to the people they're paid to protect. And I know this HOW? Don't ask (cough, cough). The sacrifices we make for our extension cords are worth it. Some of the people you meet in jail are actually quite interesting, and each incarceration is another opportunity to make lifelong friends. Use your EC in good health.

Anyone see this Christmas hack? I’m afraid to try as my skills a limited. Do I dare try on my own?

Oh golly shucks, thanks! From one cord lover to another: have a great day

The holidays are approaching and this is a reminder to be very careful with your outdoor extension cords. The police department says extension cord theft goes up this time of year and sadly the criminals are very difficult to catch.

I decided to use my bright PINK extension cords outside during this festive holiday season. They can be easily identified as mine if they are stolen. Easy to check the pawn shops and resellers or consignment shops online. Especially with the serial numbers.

If there were a Miss Universe Pageant for extension cords, this one would win. She's gorgeous, well poised and self confident. I love how she also works as a decoy to catch criminals. Gutsy! Congrats for finding this beauty.

So I talked to DH about the possibility of my collecting ECs as well as handbags. He told me he has an EC at work that's A MILE LONG, can this really be true? I told him size isn't everything but he insists it really is a mile, should I believe him? I've asked for a mod shot, will post when I get it.

Really? a MILE long? What does it connect--a toaster to the International Space Station? Reminds me of that internet urban myth about 15 years back--remember there was a picture going around of a giant house cat that was reputed to take down deer? Before photoshop became widely known people believed it. Now, obviously I DIDN'T. You keep on him for a mod shot and we'll test it for photoshopped signs. Sounds like a fish story to me.....

This is so funny. Made my day.

I know, I hate to think that DH would lie to me... he works in the film industry so I GUESS it’s possible but... I’ll text him re: the mod shot and hopefully get something today!

Sometimes we just need to get a small accessory for our extension cords. It’s difficult to decide what we might use the most. When one is willing to spend the money on LVeeDepot Extension cords it is easy to hunt for that perfect accessory that can make the purchase complete.

Of course it can be a difficult decision. What will match? Is there a waiting list? Can I have my SA and have her find or hold one for me? And to me the most important is will I use it or is is just for show?

I have gone through this conversation for the past few months in looking for that perfect accessory. I already ordered the Tiffany plastic bottle extension cord cover. Is it too soon to buy something else. Well I broke down and bought this baby today.

I bought it in white, it will match all my extension cords. I can use it daily. It will be easy to clean, no bachata too worry about. I am so happy and might not even set foot in LVeeDepot for another week.

Pictures or it didn’t happen. I also think being in the film industry that can make the unreal seem real so who knows what type of pictures he will show you. But the experts on here have more knowledge than the CIA when it comes to these things. Years of training to spot defects, a misalignment in the way the seams meet, wrong serial numbers could be overlooked by novices.

I was walking the dog and I couldn’t believe it, my neighbor left her garage door open with this beauty just sitting there on the floor. It is a newer release with the Hermès orange color. I think she was trying to let it get some afternoon sun so it would develop a nice even Patina.

So hard to find, a true HG item and braided too. I bet this is the first time many of you have seen the braided cord design. Limited Edition for VIP only. She also had the larger size gently sitting on a table in her garage. She said she is returning it because it is too heavy to carry on her shoulder. I could see that being a problem for many. So one lucky person will get a chance to buy this once it is returned.

I am so happy for my neighbor to snag this one but would think she could be more careful about where she places it. Thankfully her husband has security cameras and they also own some very large guard dogs.

Home Depot likely identified you as a reseller because you've purchased so many cords and therefore declined your card. You can't purchase another until 12 months have passed since your last purchase. Fact is, one can never have too many cords. How can they hold us to a measly 36 cords a years? That's only three a month. Don't they have any idea of the variations of electronics across the globe? Do what I do: Assume numerous identities and aliases. Get a credit card under each name. And shop your heart out. Where there's a will there's a way.

There is one way to get around this. Pay cash. Wear hats, sunglasses and wigs so they don’t find out you are the same person. Refuse to give any personal information.

This is so beautiful I wouldn't blame one to be fearful of wearing it. Admirers would stalk you. It's a one of a kind. It'd be like wearing the Hope Diamond on your finger. Breath-taking, but too heavy. This will be sold to an investor who will keep it in a vault, or donate it to The Louvre for the world to enjoy. It should be exhibited side by side to the Mona Lisa. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant. I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA came calling to us PurseForumers. We are a crafty bunch and could show them a thing or two.
