I think you totally missed my point. While maybe we are splurging on furniture we spend way less than the average person on other items like cars.

First: I am not a fan of Redeckers. Their mark-up is horrendous. Some around - include higher end second hand stores. You will have more important times to lavish over the top items for your kids ... unless you are keeping up to your social circle.
Lol no. Good mattress protection and no way was our crib in that price range in 1990 or now for that matter.
I went to Europe awhile back and a buddy said sarcastically, man I wish I could afford to go to Europe. Wish I made as much as you.
I was driving a 2004 SUV while he had a Lexus coupe which I later saw online starting at about $45k for base model.
Don't let other people's comments get you down. They don't know your life.

Another name thread strikes again! This went exactly how I thought it would. Viva la off-season!
Exactly! I highly doubt he's THAT concerned with the possibility of saving a couple hundred bucks (and if he was, he either already knew the answer or would be attempting anyway). Could have just left it at 10%, but just had to throw the $2500 in there for good measure lol.
Comical coming from the guy who literally can't make a financial decision on his own.
The $2,500 is for the crib and dresser. Yes I threw the dollar amount in there because maybe someone else has bought a nursery set from there recently. They could tell me if the dollar amount seemed high or not.
It’s pretty annoying that you can’t post asking for advice on buying a premium product without it being considered smug or bragging.
Thank to the people who gave helpful responses.

Paying that much is insane but you do you. I also drive a 2004 Infiniti.
I mean, it's kind of both. Sure, CyCrazy's a bit of an ass, but you also have the habit of starting an exorbitant number of threads about money and financial decisions.
Was there on Saturday looking at tables/chairs. The lady there said if we bought the whole set, we'd get 10% off. I imagine sales folks have a little leeway with discounts.
Big mistake if you really wanted advice from this crowd. Any CF vet could see that coming before they finished reading the OP. A simple, hey anyone have any luck negotiating at Redeckers, would have sent you down the right path.
Nah I like to include details and I’m not going to make my post more vague just to cater to the insecure people on this board. I’ll just have to stick with bogglehead for financial post.
Don’t be a douche. Just because we recommend you don’t, doesn’t mean we can’t. Most of the people you're shitting on were giving you honest advice from experience.
It has nothing to do with insecure people on this board, it has to do with the advice people were giving you wasn't what you wanted to hear.
Do you think your child will really care if they have a $2500 crib and dresser or a $500 crib and dresser? If you can afford it, more power to you, but don't get all bent out of shape because people give you advice that doesn't support your thoughts.
