Reply to LPT: Old contact lens cases are a handy way to transport small amounts of liquid, lotions or salves. This allows you to fit more things into your suitcase and also bypass hassles at the airport (US). by fifthgenerationfool
Pro - pro tip: if you lose the lid, european PET bottle corks should fit the threading.

Yep, that's what i use them for! More specifically india ink or whatever it's called in english. A very deep black paint that i don't need much of anyhow.

Absolutely.
Not sure they would hold as LPTs anyhow though cause they are not specific. It's a bit like saying "get a job with an employer that cares about their staff".
>This is called life pro tips
Yeah well almost no one really cares about that fact though. People here these days are just posting because they like to see their own words in print. That's the sad truth. Very few things are tips that people can actually apply, to get some life improvement.

> If the only things you buy in life [...] do have a good resale value or you can even sell them for more than you paid for them then you are certainly a pro at that part of life.
Well that's very uncommon. There are on the other hand people who are specialized in certain areas like antiques, cars, old candle holders, oil paintings, houses... and they know which ones are interesting to buy and which ones arent.
This LPT post however is about none of the above

> I think people assume everything they buy has some resale value correlated to what they paid for it as long as it's in good condition.
This is not my impression. Most people are, as shocking as it may sound, like you and me.
Sure some people on the second hand market are a bit optimistic, but you always have those guys.

People buy art from unknown and obscure artists thinking it's an investment?

Wouw. I have to admit, after reading the post title i expected something else when clicking on the video. I somehow expected them to... not be able to express themselves. They sound surprisingly mature and very clear in what and how they communicate.
