  • 2. The Singer 66 sewing machine from 1916!

  • 4. My grandparents’ 228-year-old desk.

The subreddit r/BuyItForLife has over a million members and is dedicated to practical quality products that were made to last. Like a phone from 2006, there was a sewing machine from the early 20th century.

The inspiration for the community came from r/ShutUpandTakeMyMoney. Sometimes it featured useful products that I was interested in buying. A lot of cheaply made products were also noticed by them.

r/BuyItForLife is twice the size of its predecessor. People really like pristine craftsmanship.
