There are many people who complain about rising prices with the recent trend of high inflation rates. Some people claim that they could make the object themselves. Randall debunks these claims by showcasing the actual effort that goes into projects such as these. In total, Cueball spends $60 creating his replacement, but he ends up just buying the one that they're selling because his replacement didn't work. This means that Cueball actually lost $60 and at least a few hours on this venture.

Cueball and White Hat stand together, with Cueball on the right. There are two boxes on the right side of the frame. Cueball is holding his arms out toward the boxes. Cueball: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

Almost did the same thing, but satisfied with results. Wanted to build a very shallow wide drawer for Ikea Ivar shelf that I use as computer station. Only one I saw that came close was $190. I probably spent $50-60, three hours planning and assembling, three trips to hardware stores and two reworked designs before I made what I wanted. Used a Cambro serving tray form Amazon, couple oak "project boards", couple DIY dowels and screws. Fungible (talk) 22:23, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
