When the going gets tough, the tough get EC inspiration. I took some of my thinnest extension cords (the non-designer ones, obviously), wove them together, and made some face masks out of them. That way, for the few occasions I go out, I can still feel like I'm in the EC game. Browsing in Home Depot isn't quite the same but, thankfully, due to its Extension Cord aisle, it's categorized as "essential store" status to be open for business. However, they do count and control the number of customers allowed in our local HD at a time. Luckily my DIY EC masks hide my impatience when I have to wait my turn in line. Once in the store I sprint to the EC aisle to check out new stock. Alas, same ol' same ol'. I'm not wasting my time attempting to make the ultimate homemade sour dough bread, I'm doing my part to repurpose ECs into other products, like face masks and exercise equipment. That way there will be a resurgence and new demand for ECs, forcing EC manufacturers to renew stockpiles. You're welcome.
Genuine EC enthusiasts get all of them. You never want to be caught off guard for that special occasion. Word to the wise--never lend them to anyone else or you'll never get them back.
I couldn’t take it anymore. The other day I put on my mask and gloves and headed to the hardware store. I told everyone I was going food shopping. 
I’m 5’4” and went with the MM. The GM was too big and the PM was too small, but the MM was just right.
Oh please don’t try to share with others outside our community of cord enthusiasts. They don’t understand.
They are simply uninformed when it comes to the joys of cord ownership. We here all get it.
Very wise advice but after four months of shopping my own collection and mixing and matching (I can’t tell you how many countless hours I have spent doing this) I feel a new cord is needed to spruce up the rest.
Yasssss!!!!Very wise advice but after four months of shopping my own collection and mixing and matching (I can’t tell you how many countless hours I have spent doing this) I feel a new cord is needed to spruce up the rest.
There's nothing like taking a new cord out of the dust bag, and out of the box, and the new smell!
And the designers are killing it with the FW2020 collection!!! For some, you may have to preorder! It's easy really. Just walk up to the Home Depot customer service and pre-order!
Good luck finding your dream cord!
Ah that smell of vinyl covered wiring. It can’t be beat or duplicated. It’s been months.
It has been hard to convince my husband that extension cords are well worth the high price. Especially the limited edition ones, unique colors or vintage and impossible to find.
Due to sheltering in place at home I have realized there is no need to hide or save my designer extension cords. I have decided to make them a focal point of my minimalistic home. I have been decluttering my closets and had no problem letting go of many designer purses and clothing. But the extension cords were causing me too much anxiety in even th thought of selling one.
I have decided to take them out of the closet and display them proudly in my house. If others are jealous or think I am bragging about my special collection, let them be. I can walk in a room and admire their beauty. As with art one can stand in different places and your extension cord will take on a new meaning. I find it very relaxing to look at my extension cords. The stress of the day just melts away.

Awwww thank you for sharing your lovely collection! And yeah, I can see why people would get jealous of your cords!
They look really expensive!$$$$
I especially love the 2nd one, as it looks like it's suspended in air!
Did anyone’s extension cord arrive without the little plastic protective doodad on the prongs? I’m worried the extension cord I got is someone else’s return.
If it's perfect otherwise and you love it, then you should keep it.
There's no guarantee that you will get a cord with plastic if you exchange it.
